ARTICLE  IX. 

Care  of  fortifications. 

36.  No  person  snail  be  permitted  to  walk  upon  any  of  the  slopes  of  a 
fortification,  except  the  ramps  and  glacis.  If,  in  any  case,  it  be  necessary 
to  provide  for  crossing  them,  it  should  be  done  by  placing  wooden  steps 
or  stairs  against  the  slopes.  The  occasional  walking  of  persons  on  a 
parapet  will  do  no  harm,  provided  it  be  not  allowed  to  cut  the  surface 
into  paths. 

37.  No  cattle,  horses,  or  other  animal  shall  ever  be  permitted  to  go 
upon  the  slopes,  the  ramparts,  or  the  parapets,  nor  upon  the  glacis,  ex- 
cept within  fenced  limits,  which  should  not  approach  the  crest  nearer 
than  30  feet. 

38.  All  grassed  surfaces,  excepting  the  glacis,  will  be  carefully  and 
frequently  mowed,  (except  in  dry  weather,)  and  the  oftener  the  better, 
while  growing  rapidly — the  grass  being  never  allowed  to  be  more  than 
a  few  inches  high.  In  order  .to  cut  the  grass  even  and  close,  upon  small 
slopes,  a  light  one-handed  scythe1  should  be  used  ;  and  in  mowing  the 
steep  slopes,  the  mower  should  stand  on  a  light  ladder  resting  against 
the  slope,  and  not  upon  the  grass.  Crops  of  hay  may  be  cut  on  the 
glacis;  or,  if  fenced,  it  may  be  used  as  pasture,  otherwise  it  should  bo 
treated  as  other  slopes  of  the  fortification.  On  all  the  slopes,  spots  of 
dead  grass  will  be  cut  out  and  replaced  by  fresh  sod.  All  weeds  will 
be  eradicated. 

39.  "The  burning  of  grass  upon  any  portion  of  a  fortification  is  strict- 
ly forbidden. 

40.  Particular  attention  is  required  to  prevent  the  formation  of  gul- 
lies inthe  parade,  terreplein,  and  ramps,  and  especially  in  slopes  where 
grass  is  not  well  established. 

41.  Earth,  sand  or  ashes,  must  not  be  placed  against  wood  work  ;  h,

free  ventilation  must  be  preserved  around  it ;  find  all  wooden  floors,

42.  The  machinery  of  drawbridges,  gates,  and  posterns  must  be  kept 
in  good  working  order  by  proper  cleaning  and  oiling  of  the  parts  ;  the 
bridges  will  be  raised,  and  the  gates  and  posterns  opened   as  often  as  • 
once  a  week. 

43.  Tfic  torreplcins  of  forts,  tlio  floors  of  casemates,  caponmers,  store- 
rooms, barracks,  galleries,  posterns,  magazines,  &c,  aDd  the  side-walks 
in  front  of  quarters,  as  well  as  other  walks,  are  sometimes  paved  with 
brick  or  stones,  or  formed  of  concrete.  These  surfaces  must  be  preserved 
from  injury  with  great  care-  In  transporting  guns  and  carriages,  and 
in  mounting  them,  strong  way-planks  will  be  used,  and  neither  the 
wheels  nor  any  other  part  of  the  carriages,  nor  any  machinery,  such  as 
shears,  gins,  &c.,  nor  any  handspike  or  other  implements,  will  be  allowed 
to  touch  those  surfaces.  Unless  protected  in  a  similar  manner,  no  wheel- 
barrow, or-vehicle,  or  barrel,  shall  be  rolled  on  said  surfaces.  No  vio- 
lent work  will  be  done,  nor  any  heavy  v  eight  suffered  to  fall  upon  them. 
In  using  machines,  as  gins,  &c,  in  casemates,  care  must  be  taken  not  to 
injure  the  arch,  or  ceiling,  or  floors.  Neglect  of  these  preen utions  may 
cause  injuries  apparently  slight,  but  6erious  in  effect,  from  leaking  of 
water  into  masonry,  casemates,  &c. 

44.  The  doors  and  windows  of  all  store  rooms  and  unoccupied  case- 
mates, quarters,  barracks,  &c,  will  be  opened  several  times  a  week  for 
thorough  ventilation. 

45.  Masonry  shot-furnaces  will  be  heated  only  on  the  approach  of  an 
enemy.  For  ordinary  practice  with  hot  shot,  iron  furnaces  are  provided. 

46.  The  foregoing  matters  involve  but  little  expense  ;* the  labor  is 
within  the  means  of  every  garrison,  and  no  technical  knowledge  is  re- 
quired beyond  what  will  be  found  among  soldiers.  Other  repairs,  re- 
quiring small  disbursements,  such  as  repainting  exposed  wood  or  iron 
work,  can  be  also  excuted  by  the  garrison  ;  but  reports,  estimates,  and 
requisitions,  may  be  necessary  to  obtain  the  materials. 

47.  No  alteration  will  be  made  in  any  fortification,  or  in  any  build- 
ing whatever  belonging  to  it,  nor  in  any  building  or  work  of  any  kind; 
nor  will  any  building  or  work  of  earth,  masonry,  or  timber,  foe  erected 
within  the  fortification,  or  on  its  exterior,  within  half  a  mile,  except 
under  the  superintendence  of  the  Engineer  Department,  and  by  authori- 
ty of  the  Secretary  of  War. 

ARTICLE  X, 

CARE    OF    ARMAMENT    OF    FORTIFICATIONS. 

48.  At  each  permanent  post  with  a  fixed  battery,  and  garrisoned  by 
not  more  than  one  company,  there  will  be  kept  mounted  for  purposes  of 
instruction  and  target  practice,  three  heavy  guns  ;  and  at  posts  garri- 
soned by  more  than  one  company,  at  the  rate  of  two  for  each  of  the  com- 
panies composing  its  garrison.  The  other  guns  dismounted  will  be  pro- 
perly placed  within  their  own  traverse  circles,  and  the  carriages  pre- 
served from  the  weather. 

49.  All  guns  should  be  sponged  clean,  and  their  vents  examined  to 
see  that  they  are  clear.  The  chassis  should  be  traversed  and  left  in  a 
different  position,  the  top  earring©  moved  backward  and  forward,  and 


6  •  ARTILLERY    PRACTICE. 

left  alternately  over  the  front  and  rear  transoms  of  the  chassis  :  the  ele- 
vating screws  or  machines  wiped  clean,  worked  and  oiled  if  required, 
and  the  nuts  of  all  holts  screwed  up  tight.  This  should  all  be  done  reg- 
ularly once  in  every  week.  % 

50.  When  tarpaulins,  or  pent  houses,  are  placed  over  the  guns,  they 
should  be  removed  once  a  week  when  the  weather  is  fair,  the  carriages 
and  guns,  brushed  off,  and  if  damp,  allowed  to  dry. 

51.  An  old  sponge  staff  and  head,  should  be  used  for  drill.  The  new 
sponges  should  never  be  used  unless  the  gun  is  fired.  Tire  implements 
should  be  kept  in  stores,  under  cover,  and  be  examined,  wiped  clean,  or 
brushed  at  least  once  a  month.  In  case  of  leather  equipments,  due 
care  should  be  taken  for  their  preservation,  by  the  use  of  oil,  but  never 
using  varnish. 

52.  Magazines  should  be  frequently  examined  to  see  that  the  powder 
is  well  preserved.  They  should  be  .opened  every  other  day,  when  the 
air  is  dry  and  clear.  Barrels  of  powder'  should  be  turned  and  rolled 
occasionally.  Under  ordinary  circumstances,  only  a  few  cartridges 
should  be  kept  filled.  If  the  paper  body  of  the  cartridge  becomes  soft, 
or  loses  its  sizing,  it  is  certain  that  the  magazine  is  very  damp,  and 
means  should  be  found  to  improve  the  ventilation.  Cartridge  bags  may 
be  kept  in  the  magazine  ready  for  filling;  also  port  fires,  fuses,  tubes 
and  primers.  Stands  of  grape,  cannister,  and  wads,  for  barbette  guns 
should  be  kept  in  store  with  the  implements.  In'  casemate  guns,  wads 
may  be  hung  in  bundles,  and  grape  and  cannister  near  the  guns.  Shot, 
well  lac^uered'and  clean,  may  be  placed  in  piles  near  the  guns* 

ARTICLE  XI. 

ARTILLERY    PRACTICE. 

53.  At  all  posts  with  fixed  batteries,  the  position  of  every  gun,  mount- 
ed or  to  be  mounted,  will  have  its  number,  and  this  number  be  placed 
on  the  gun  when  in  position. 

54.  For  every  such  work  a  post-book  of  record  will  be  kept,  under  tho 
direetion.of  the  commander  of  the  post,  in  which  will  be  duly  entered, 
the  number  of  each  mounted  gun,  its  calibre,  weight,  names  of  founder, 
and  its  inspector,  and  other  marks  :  the  description  of  its  carriage  and 
date  of  reception  at  the  post ;  where  from,  and  the  greatest  field  of  firo 
Of  the  gun  in  its  position. 

55.  Every  commander  of  a  fort,  or  other  fixed  battery,  will,  before 
entering  on  artillery  practice,  carefully  reconnoitre,"  and  cause  to  bo 
sketched  for  his  record  book,  the  water  channels,  with  their  soundings 
and  other  approaahes  to  the  work,  Buoys  or  marks  will  be  placed  afe 
the  extreme  and  intermediate  ranges  of  the  guns,  and  these  marks  bo 
numerically  noted  on  the  sketch.  A  buoy  at  every  five  hundred  yards 
may  suffice. 

56.  At  the  time  of  practice  a  distinct  and  careful  note  will  be  made 
for  the  record-book,  of  every  shot  or  shell  that  may  be  thrown,  desig- 
nating the  guns  fired  by  their  numbers,  the  charges  of  powder  used,  the 
time  of  flight  of  shots  and  shells,  the  ranges  and  ricochets,  and  the  po- 
sitions of  guns  in  respect  to  the  horizontal  and  vertical  lines. 

57.  The  time  of  flight  of  a  shell  may  be  noted  with  sufficient  accuracy 
by  a  stop-watch,,  or  by  counting  the  beats  (previously  ascertaining:  th«y 


REGIMENTS.  7 

value)  of  other  watches,  and  the  range  lr.ay  sometimes  be  computed  by 
the  time  of  fligh't.  Other  modes  ascertaining  the  range  will  readily  oc- 
cur to  officers  of  science. 

58.  When  charged  shells  with  fuze  are  thrown,  the  time  of  bursting 
will  be  noted.  If  they  are  intended  to  fall  on  land,  only  a  blowing 
charge  will  be  given  to  the  shells,  so  that  they  may  be  picked  up  for 
further  use. 

59.  On  filling  from  the  barrel,  the  proof  range  of  powder  will  be 
marked  on  the  cartridges. 

60.  The  general  objects  of  this  practice  are,  to  give  to  officers  and 
men  the  ready  and  effective  use  of  batteries  ;  to  preserve  on  record  the 
more  important  results  for  the  benefit  of  the  same,  or  future  command- 
ers, and  to  ascertain  the  efficiency  of  guns  and  carriages. 

61.  The  commanders  of  field  artillery  will  also  keep  registers  of  their 
practice,  so  that  not  a  shot  or  shell  shall  be  thrown  in  the  army,  for  in* 
struction-  without  distinct  objects,  such  as  range,  accuracy  of  aim,  num- 
ber of  ricochets,  time  of  bursting  in  the  cage  of  shells,  &c. 

02.  Th«3  issue  of  blank  cartridges  for  the  drill  and  instruction  of  the 
light  artillery  companies  will  be  authorized  in  such  quantities  as  may  be 
necessary,  on  requisitions  duly  approved  by  the  proper  department. 

63.  For  artillery  there  will  be  three  annual  periods  of  practice  in 
firing,  viz  :  in  April,  June  and  October.  At  the  termination  of  each 
period  the- commanding,  officers  of  posts  will  transmit  to  the  Adjutant- 
General  full  reports  of  the  results. 

64.  To  determine  accuracy  in  firing  shot  and  shell,  butts  or  targets 
will  be  used.     If  no  natural  butt  presents  itself,  targets  will  be  erected. 

65.  As  practice  in  gunnery  is  a  heavy  expense,  commanders  of  com* 
panies,  and  their  immediate  superiors,  are  charged  with  the  strict  execu- 
tion of  the  foregoing  details  ;  and  all  officers  on  inspection  duty  will  re- 
port through  the  proper  channels,  upon  such  execution.  • 

ARTICLE   XII. 

REGIMENTS. 

66.  On  the  organization  of  a  regiment,  companies  receive  a  permanent 
designation  by  letters  beginning  with  A,  and  the  officers  are  assigned  to 
companies;  afterward,  company  officers  succeed  to  companies,  as  pro- 
moted to  fill  vacancies.  Companies  take  place  in  the  battalion  accord- 
ing to  the  rank  of  their  captains. 

67.  Captains  must  serve  with  their  companies.  Though  subject  to 
the  temporary  details  of  service,  as  for  courts-martial,  military  boards, 
etc.,  they  shall  not  be  detailed  for  any  duty  which  may  separate  them 
for  any  considerable  time  from  their  companies. 

68.  The  commander  of  a  regiment  will  appoint  the  adjutant  from  the 
subalterns  of  the  regiment,  lie  will  nominate  the  regimental  Quarter- 
master to  the  Secretary  of  War  for  appointment,  if  approved.  He  will 
appoint  the  non-commissioned  staff  of  the  regiment;  and,  upon  the  re- 
commendation Of  the  company  commander,  the  sergeants  and  corporals 
of  companies. 

69.  In  cases  of  vacancy,  and  till  a  decision  pan  be  had  from  regimen- 
tal headquarters,  the  company  commanders  may  make  temporary  ap- 
pointments of  non-commissioned  officers. 


8  REGIMENTS. 

70.  Commanders  of  regiments  are  enjoined  to  avail  themselves  of 
every  opportunity  of,  instructing  both  officers  and  men  in  the  exercise 
and  management  of  field  artillery  ;  and  all  commanders  ought  to  en- 
courage useful  occupations,  and  manly  exercises,  and  diversions  among 
their  men,  and  to  repress  dissipation  and  immorality. 

71.  It  is  enjoined  upon  all  offioers  to  be  cautious  in  reproving  non- 
commissioned officers  in  the  presence  or  hearing  of  privates,  unless  their 
authority  bo  weakened ;  and  non-commissioned  officers  are  not  to  be  sent 
to  the  guard-room  and  mixed  with  privates  during  confinement,  but  be 
considered  as  placed  in  arrest,  except  in  aggravated  cases,  where  escape 
may  be  apprehended. 

72.  Non-commissioned  officers  mny  be  reduced  to  the  ranks  by  the 
sentence  of  a  court-martial,  or  by'order  of  the  commander  of  the  regi- 
ment, on  the  application  of  the  company  commander.  If  reduced  to  the 
ranks  by  garrison  courts,  at  posts  not  the  headquarters  of  the  regiment, 
the  company  commander  will  immediately  forward  a  transcript  of  the 
order  to  the  regimental  commander. 

73.  Every  non-comiiiissionsd  officer  shall  be  furnished  with  a  certifi- 
cate or  warrant  of  his  rank,  signed  by  the  colonel  and  countersigned  by 
the  adjutant.  Blank  warrants  are  furnished  from  the' Adjutant-Gene- 
ral's office.  The  first,  or  orderly  sergeant,  will  be  selected  by  the  captain 
from  the  sergeants. 

74.  When  it  is  desired  to  have  bands  of  music  fv>r  regiments,  there 
will  be  allowed  for  each,  sixteen  privates  to  act  as  musicians,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  chief  musicians  authorized  by  law,  provided,  the  total  num- 
ber of  privates. in  the  regiment,  including  the  band,  does  not  exceed  the 
legal  standard. 

75.  The  musicians  of  the  band  will,  for  the  time  being,  be  dropped 
from  the  compgny  muster-rolls,  but  they  will  be  instructed  as  soldiers, 
and  liable  to  serve  in  the  ranks  on  any  occasion.  They  will  be  mustered 
in  a  separate  squad  under  the  chief  musician,  with  the  non-commission- 
ed staff,  and  be  included  in  the  aggregate  in  all  regimental  returns. 

76.  When  a  regiment  occupies  several  stations,  the  band  will  be  kept 
at  the  headquarters,  provided  troops  (one  or  more  companies)  be  serving 
there.  The  field  music  belonging  to  companies  not  stationed  at  regi- 
mental headquarters,  will  not  be  separated  from  their  respective  com- 
panies. 

77.  No  man,  unless  he  be  a  carpenter,  joiner,  carriage-maker,  black- 
smith, saddler,  or  harness-maker,  will  be  mustered  as  an  "artificer." 

78.  Every  article,  excepting  arms  and  accoutrements,  belonging  to 
the  regiment,  is  to  be  marked  with  the  number  and  name  of  the  regi- 
ment. 

79.  Such  articles  as  belong  to  companies  are  to  be  marked  with  the 
letter  of  the  company,  and  number  and  name  of  the  regiment ;  and  such 
as  belong  to  men,  with  their  individual  numbers,  and  the  letter  of  the

82.  The  captain  will  cause  the  men  of  the  company  to  be  numbered, 
in  a  regular  series,  including  the  non-commissioned  officers,  and  divi- 
ded into  four  squads,  each  to  be  put  under  the  charge  of  a  non-commis- 
sioned officer. 

83.  Each  subaltern  officer  will  be  charged  with  a  squad  for  the  super- 
vision of  its  order  and  cleanliness ;  and  captains  will  require  their  lieu- 
tenants to  assist  them  in  the  performance  of  all  company  duties. 

84.  As  far  as  practicable,  the  men  of  each  squad  will  be  quartered 
together. 

85.  The  utmost  attention  will  be  paid  by  commanders  of  companies 
to  the  cleanliness  of  their  men,  as  to  their  persons,  clothing,  arms,  ac- 
coutrements, and  equipments,  and  also  as  to  their  quarters  or  tents.

no  article  of  any  kind  to  be  put  under  the  bedding. 

90.  Cooking  utensils  and  table  equipage  will  be  cleaned  and  arranged 
in  closets  or  recesses  ;  blacking  and  brushes  out  of  view  ;  the  fuel  in 
boxes. 

91.  Ordinarily  the  cleaning  will  be  on  Saturdays.  The  chiefs  of 
squads  will  cause  bunks  and  beddings  to  be  overhauled  ;  floors  dry 
rubbed  ;  tables  and  benches  scoured  ;  arms  cleaned  ;  accoutrements 
whitened  and  polished  ;  and  every  thing  put  in  order. 

92.  Where  conveniences  for  bathing  are  to  be  had,  the  men  should

hair  kept  short,  and  beard  neatty  trimmed. 

93.  Non-commissioned  officers,  in  command  of  squads,  will  be  held 
more  immediately  responsible^hat"  their  men  observe  what  is  prescribed 
above  ;  that  they  wash  their  hands  and  faces  daily  ;  that  they  brush  or 
comb  their  heads ;  that  those  who  are  to  go  on  duty  put  their  arms;  ac- 
coutrements, dress, »&c,  in  the  best  order,  and  that  such  as  have  per- 
mission to  pass  the  chain  of  sentinels,  are  in  the  dress  that  may  be  or- 
dered. 

94.  Commanders  of  companies  and  squads  will  see  that  the  arms  and

commissioned  officer.  Bright  barrels  will  be  kept  clean  and  free  from 
rust  without  polishing  them  ;  care  should  be  taken  in  rubbing  not  to- 
bruise  or  bend  the  barrel.  After  firing,  wash  out  the  bore :  wipe  it  dry, 
and  then  pass  a  bit  of  cloth.,  slightly  greased,  to  the  bottom.  In  these 
operations,  a  rod  of  wood,  with  a  loop  in  one  end,  is  to  be  used  instead 
of  the  rammer.  The  barrel,  when  not  in  use,  will  be  closed  with  a  stop- 
per.. For  exercise,  each  soldier  should  keep  himself  provided  with  a 
piece  of  sola-leather  to  fit  the  cup  or  countersink  of  the  hammer. 

98.  Arms  shall  not  he  left  loaded  in  quarters  or  tents,  or  when  the 
men  are  off  duty,  except  by  special  orders.

Inclosed  herewith  you  will  receive  the  report  of 


-,  the  officer 


commanding  the  compai.y  in  which  the   sergeant  has  been  serving,  to 
which  I  add  the  following  remarks  : 

1 — ,  Commanding Regiment. 

12G.  When  a  company  is  detached  from  the  headquarters  of  the  regi- 
ment, the  reports  of  the  commanding  officer  in  this  matter,  will  pass  to 
the  regimental  headquarters  through  the  commanding  officer  of  the 
post  or  detachment,  and  be  accompanied  by  his  opinion  as  to  the  fitness 
of  the  candidate. 

127.  Ordnance  sergeants  will  be  assigned  to  posts  when  appointed, 
and  ai'e  not  to  be  transferred  to  other  stations  except  by  orders  from 
the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's  office. 

128.  At  the  expiration  of  their  term  of  service,  ordnance  sergeants 
may  be  re-enlisted,  provided  they  shall  have  conducted  themselves  in  a 
becoming  manner,  and  performed  their  duties  to  the  satisfaction  of  the 
commanding  officer.  If  the  commanding  officer,  however,  sh;ill  not 
think  proper  to  re  enlist  the  ordnance  sergeant  of  his  post,  he  will  not 
discharge  him  at  the  expiration  of  his  service,  unless  it  shall  be  the 
wish  of  the  sergeant,  but  will  communicate  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspec- 
tor General  his  reasons  for  declining  to  re-enlist  him,  to  be  submitted 
to  the  War  Department.. 

129.  The  officers  interested  must  be  aware,  from  the  nature  of  trie 
duties  assigned  to  ordnance  sergeants,  that*  the  judicious  selection  of 
them  is  of  no  small  importance  to  the  interests  of  the  service-;  and  that 
while  the  law  contemplates,  in  the  appointment  of  those  non-commis- 
sioned officers,  the  better  preservation  of  the  ordnance  and  ordnance 
stores  in  deposit  in  the  several  forts,  there  is  the  further  motive  of  of- 
fering a  reward  to  those  faithful  and  well-tried  sergeants  who  have  long 
served  their  country,  and  of  thus  giving  encouragement  to  the  soldier 
in  the  ranks  to  emulate  them  in  conduct,  and  thereby  secure  substan- 
tial promotion.    Colonels  and  captains  can  not,  therefore,  bo  too  par-

ticular  in  investigating  the  characters  of  the  candidates,  and  in  giving 
their  testimony  as  to  their  merits. 

130.  The  appointment  and  removal  of  ordnance  sergeants,  stationed 
at  military  posts,  in  pursuance  of  the  above  provisions  of  law,  "shall  be 
reported  by  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  to  the  Chief  of  the 
Ordnance  Department. 

131.  When  a  non-commissioned  officer  receives  the  appointment  of 
ordnance  sergeant,  he  shall  be  dropped  from  the  rolls  of  the  regiment 
or  company  in  which  he  may  be  serving  at  the  time. 

132.  The  duty  of  ordnance  sergeants  relates  to  the  care  of  the  ord- 
nance, arms,  ammunition,  and  other  military  stores- at  the  post  to  which 
they  may  be  attached,  under  the  direction  of  the  commanding  officer, 
and  according  to  the  regulations  of  the  Ordnance  Department. 

133.  If  a  post  be  evacuated,  the  ordnance  sergeant  shall  remain  on 
duty  at  the  station,  under  the  direction  of  the  Chief  of  the  Ordnance  De- 
partment, in  charge  of  the  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores,  and  of  such 
other  public  property  as  is  not  in  charge  of  some  officer  or  agent  of  other 
Departments  ;  for  which  ordnance  stores  and  other  property  he  will  ac- 
count to  the  chiefs  of  the  proper  departments  until  otherwise  directed. 

134.  An  ordnance  sergeant  in  charge  of  ordnance  stores  at  a  post 
where  there  is  no  commissioned  officer,  shall  be  held  responsible  for  the 
safe  keeping  of  the  property,  and  he  shall  be  governed  by  the  regula- 
tions of  the  Ordnance  Department  in  making  issues  of  the  same,  and  in 
preparing  and  furnishing  the  requisite  returns.  If  the  means  at  his 
disposal  are  not  sufficient  for  the  preservation  of  the  property,  he  shall 
report  the  circumstances  to  the  Chief  of  the  Ordnance  Department. 

135.  Ordnance  sergeants  are  to  be  considered  as  belonging  to  the  non- 
commissioned staff  of  the  post,  under  the  orders  of  the  commanding 
officer.  They  are  to  wear  the  uniform,  with  the  distinctive  badges* pre- 
scribed for  the  non-commissioned  staff,  of  regiments  of  artillery  ;  and 
they  are  to  appear  under  arms  with  the  troops  at  all  reviews  and  in- 
spections, monthly  and  weekly. 

130.  When  serving  at  any  post  which  may  be  the  headquarters  of  a 
regiment,  ordnance  sergeants  shall  be  reported  by  name  on  the  post  re- 
turns, and  mustered  with  the  non-commissioned  staff  of  the  regiment; 
and  at  all  other  posts  they  shall  be  mustered  and  reported  in  some  com- 
pany stationed  at  the  post  at  which  they  serve  ;  be  paid  on  the  muster- 
roll,  and  be  charged  with  the  clothing  and  all  other  supplies  previously 
received  from  any  officer,  or  subsequently  issued  to  them  by  the  com- 
manding officer  of  the  company  for  the  time  being.  Whenever  the 
company  may  be  ordered  from  the  post,  the  ordnance  sergeant  will  be 
transferred  to  the  rolls  of  any  remaining  company,  by  the  order  of*  the 
commanding  officer  of  the,  post. 

137.  In  the  event  of  the  troops-  being  all  withdrawn  from  a  post  at 
which  there  is  an  ordnance  sergeant,  he  shall  be  furnished  with  his  de- 
scriptive roll  and  account  of  clothing  and  pay,  signed  by  the  proper 
officer  last  in  command,  accompanied  by  the  remarks  necessary  for  his 
military  history  ;  and  on  his  exhibiting  such  papers  to  any  Quastermas- 
ter,  with  a  letter  from  the  ordnance  office  acknowledging  the  receipt  of 
his  returns,  and  that  they  are  satisfactory,  he  will  be  paid  op  a  separate 
account  the  amount  which  may  be  due  him  at  the  date  of  the  receipt  of 
the  return  mentioned  in  such  letter,  together  with  commutation  of  ra-

there  are  no.  troops  at  the  post,  the  ordnance  sergeant  will  report  to  the 
Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's  office  by  letter,  on  the  last  day  of

pany the  soldier  transferred,  which  roll  will  embrace  an  account  of  his

the  period  during  which  the  officer  kas  suffered  under  its  effects.  |  And 
that  in  consequence  thereof,  he  is,  in  my  opinion,  unfit  for  duty.  I  fur- 
ther declare  my  belief  that  he  will  not  be  able  to  resume  his  duties  in  a 

less  period  than .     \ Here  state  candidly  and  explicitly  the  opinion 

as  to  the  period  which  ivill  probably  elapse  before  the  officer  will  be  able 
to  resume  his  duties.  When  there  is  no  reason  to  expect  a  recovery,  or 
when  the  prospect  of  recovery  is  distant  and  uncertain,  or  when  a  change 
of  climate  is  recommended,  it  must  be  so  slated.]  Dated  at  — : — ,  this 
'  day  of — — .  Signature  of  the  Medical  Officer. 

174.  in  all  reports  of  absence,  or  application  for  leave  of  absence  on

company  to  turn  out  under  arms  on  its  own  parade,  for  roll-call  and 
inspection  by  its  own  officers. 

320.  Ten  minutes  after  that  signal,  the  Adjutant's  call  will  be  given, 
when  the  Captains  will  march  their  companies  (the  band  playing)  to 
the  regimental  parade,  where  they  take  their  positions  in  the  order  of 
battle.  When  the  line  is  formed,  the  Captain  of  the  first  company,  on 
notice  from  the  Adjutant,  steps  one  pace  to  the  front,  and  gives  to  his 
company  the  command,  "  Order — Afms.  Parade — Rest,'1  which  is 
repeated  by  each  Captain  in  succession  to  the  left.  The  adjutant  takes 
post  two  pac^s  on  the  right  of  the  line;  the  Sergeant-Major  two  paces 
on  the  left.  The  music  will  be  formed  in  two  ranks  on  the  right  of  the 
Adjutant.  Tn^senior  officer  present  will  take  the  command  of  the  pa- 
rade, and  will  take  post  at  a  suitable  distanco  in  front,  opposite  the 
centre,  facing  the  line.

order  the  music  to  beat  off,  when  it  will  commence  on  the  right,  beat 
in  front  of  the  line  to  the  left,  and  back  to  its  place  on  the  right. 

328.  When  the  music  has  ceased,  the  Adjutant  will  step  two  paces 
to  the  front,  face  to  the  left,  and  command, 

1.  Attention.     2.  Battalion.     3.  Shoulder-— Arms.     4.  Prepare  to  open

329.  Seeing  this  executed,  he  will  face  about  to  the  commanding  offi- 
cer, salute,  and  report,  "Sir,  the  parade  is  formed."  The  Adjutant  will 
then,  on  intimation  to  that  effect,  take  his  station  three  paces  on  the  left 
of  the  commanding  officer,  one  pace  retired,  passing  round  his  rear. 

330.  The  commanding  officer  having  acknowledged  the  salute  of  the 
line  by  touching  his  hat,  will,  after  the  Adjutant  has  taken  his  post, 
draw  his  sword  and  command, 

1.  Battalion.     2.  Shoulder — Arms  ! 
nnd  add  such  exercises  as  he  may,  think  proper,  concluding  with 

Order — Arms  !

officer,  advance  upon  the  line,  halt  midway  between  him  and  the  line  of 
company  officers,  and  command, 

1.  First  Sergeants,  to  ihejront  and  centre.     2.  March. 
At  the  first  command,  they  wi.ll  shoulder  arms  as  Sergeants,  march  two 
paces  to  the  front,  and  face  inward.     At  the  second  command,  they 
will  march  to  the  centre  and  halt.     The  Adjutant  will'  then  order, 

1.  Front — Face.     2.  Report. 
At  the  last  word,  each  in  succession,  beginning  on  the  right,  will  salute 
by  bringing  the  left  hand  smartly  across  the  breast  to  the  right  shoulder, 
and  report  the  result  of  the  roll-call  previously  made  on  the  company 
parade. 

332.  The  Adjutant  again  commands, 

1.  First  Sergeants,  outward— Face  !  2.  To  yow  posts — March  ! 
when  they  will  resume  their  places,  and  order  arms.  The  Adjutant 
will  now  face  to  the  commanding  officer,  salute,  report  absent  officers, 
and  give  the  result  of 'the  First  Serjeants' reports.  The  commanding 
officer  will  next  direct  the  orders  to  be  read,  when  the  Adjutant  will 
face  about,  and  announce, 

Attention  to  Orders. 

He  will  tli en  read  the  orders. 

333.  The  orders  having  been  read,  the  Adjutant  will  face  to  the  com- 
manding officer,  salute,  and  report;  when,  on  an  intimation  from  the 
commander,  he  will  face  again  to  the  line,  and  announce, 

Parade  is  dismissed.  , 

All  the  officers  will  now  return  their  swords,  face  inward  and  close  on 
the  Adjutant,  he  having  taken  position  in  their  line,  the  field  officers  on 
the  flanks.     The  Adjutant  commands,  .  * 

1.  Front— Face  !     2.  Forward — March  ! 
when  they  will  march  forward,  dressing  on  the  centre,  the  music  play-

such  instructions  as  he  may  have  to  give,  or  intimates  that  the  cere- 
mony is  finished.  As  the  officers  disperse,  the  First  Sergeants  will 
close  the  ranks  of  their  respective  companies,  and  march  them  to  the 
company  parades,  where  they  will  be  dismissed,  the  band  continuing  to 
play  until  the  companies  clear  the  regimental  paraded 

334.  All  field  and  company  officers  and  men  will  be  present  at  dress

II.    REVIEW    OF    A    BATTALION    OF    INFANTRY. 

33G.  Preparatory  to  a  review,  the  Adjutant  will  cause  a  camp  color 
to  be  placed  80  or  100  paces,  or  more,  according  to  the  length  of  the 
line,  in  front  of,  and  opposite  to,  where  the  centre  of  the  battalion  will 
rest,  where  the  reviewing  officer  is  supposed  to  take  his  station;  and, 
although  he  may  choose  to  quit  that  position,  still  the  color  is  to  be  con- 
sidered as  the  point  to  which  all  the  movements  and  formations  are  rela- 
tive. 

337.  The  Adjutant  will  also  cause  points  to  be  marked,  at  suitable 
distances,  for  the  wheelings  of  the  divisions,  so  that  their  right  flanks, 
in  marching  past,  shall  only  be  about  four  paces  from  the  camp  color, 
where  it  is  supposed  the  reviewing  officer  places  himself  to  receive  the, 
salute. 

338.  The  battalion  being  formed  in  the  order  of  battle,  at  sJwuldered 
anus,  the  Colonel  will  command, 

1.  Battalion,  prepare  for  review.     2.  To  the  rear,  open  order.     3.  March*

and  place  themselves  opposite  to  their  respective  places  in  the  order  of  bat- 
tle. The  color-guard  replace  thejcolor-rank.  The  staff  officers  place  them- 
selves/according to  rank,  three  paces  on  the  right  of  the  rank  of  com- 
pany officers,  and  one  pace  from  each  other  ;  the  music  takes  post  as  at 
parade.  The  non-commissioned  staff  take  post  one  pace  from  each' 
other,  and  three  paces  on  the  right  of  the  front  rank  of  the  battalion. 

339.  When  the  ranks  are  aligned,  the  Colonel  will  command, 

Front ! 

and  place  himself  eight  paces,  and  the  Lieutenant  Colonel  and  Major 
will  place  themselves  two  paces,  in  front  of  the  rank  of  company 
officers,  and  opposite  tcr  their  respective  places  in  the  order  of  battle, 
all  facing  to  the  front. 

340.  When  the  reviewing  officer  presents  himself  before  the  centre, 
and  is  fifty  or  sixty  paces  distant,  the  Colonel  will  face- about,  and  com- 
mand, *  ... 

Present — Arms! 
and  resume  his  front.     The  men  present  arms,  and  the  officers  salute,  so 
as  to  drop  their  swords  with  the  last  motion  of  the  fire-lock.     The  non- 
commissioned staff  salute  by  bringing  the  sword  to  a  poise,  the  hilt  rest-

ward. The  music  will  play,  and  all  the  drums  beat,  according  to  the 
rank  of  the  reviewing  officer.  The  colors  only  salute  such  persons  as, 
from  their  rank,  and  by  regulation,  (see  Article  XXIX,)  are'entitled 
to  that  honor.  If  the  reviewing  officer  be  junior  in  rank  to  the  com- 
mandant Of  the  parade,  no  compliment  will  be  paid  to  him,  but  he  will 
be  received  with  arms  carried,  and  the  officers  will  not  salute  as  the 
column  passes  in  review. 

341.  The  reviewing  officer  .having  halted,  and  acknowledged  the  sa- 
lute of  the  line  by  touching  or  raising  his  cap  or  hat,  the  Colonel  will 
face  about,  and  command, 

Shoulder — Arms  ! 

when  the  men  shoulder  their  pieces;  the  officers  and  non  commissioned 
staff  recover  their  swords  with  the  last  motion,  and  the  colonel  faces  to 
the  front. 

342.  The  reviewing  officer  will  then  go  toward  the  right,  the  whole 
remaining  perfectly  steady,  without  paying  any  further  compliment, 
while  he  passes  along  the  front  of  the  battalion,  and  proceeds  round 
the  left  flank,  and  along  the  rear  of  the  file-closers,  to  the  right.  While 
the  reviewing  officer  is  going  round  the  battalion,  the  band  will  play, 
and  will  cease  when  he  has  returned  to  the  right  flank  of  the  troops. 

343.  When  the  reviewing  officer  turns  off,  to  place  himself  by  the 
camp  color  in  front,  the  Colonel  will  face  to  the  line  and  command. 

.    1.  Close  Order.     2.  March  ! 

At  the  first  command,  the  field  and  company  officers  will  face  to  the 
rightabout,  and  at  the  second  command  all  persons  except'lhe  Colonel, 
will  resume  their  places  in  the  order  of  battle;  the  field  and  staff 
officers  mount. 

344.  The  reviewing  officer  having  taken  his  position  near  the  camp 
color,  the  Colonel  will  command, 

1.  By  company,  right  wheel.     2.   Quick — March  !     3.  Pass  in   review, 

4.  Column  forward.  5.  Guide  right.  Q.  March  ! 
The  battalion,  in  column  of  companies,  right  in  front,  will  then,  in 
common  time,  <and  at  shoiddered  arms,  be  put  in  motion;  the  Colonel 
four  paces  in'  front  of  the  Captain  of  the  leading  company  ;  the  Lieu- 
tenant-Colonel on  a  line  with  the  leading  company  ;  the  Major  on  a 
line  with  the  rear  company;  the  Adjutant  on  a  line  with  the  second 
company;  the  Sergeant-Major  on  a  line  with  the  company  next  prece- 
dingthe  rear— each  six  paces  from  the  flank  (left)  opposite  to  the  re- 
viewing officer;  the  staff  officers  in  one  rank,  according  to  the  order  of 
precedency,  from  the  right,  four  paces  in  rear  of  the  column  ;  the  music, 
-preceded  by  the  principal  musician,  six  paces  before  the  Colonel;  the 
pioneers,  preceded  by  a  Corporal,  four  paces  before  the  principal  musi- 
cian ;  and  the  Quartermaster-Sergeant  two  paces  from  the  side  opposite  to 
the  guides,  and  in  line  with  the  pioneers. 

^  345.  All  other  officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  will  march  past 
in  the  places  prescribed  for  them  in  the  march  of  an  open  column. 
The  guides  and  soldiers  will  keep  their  heads  steady  to  the  front  in 
passing  in  review. 


FORMS   OF   TARABK.  37 

34G.  The  color-bearer  will  remain  in  the  ranks  while  passing  and 
saluting. 

347.  The  music  will  begin  to  play  at  the  command  to  march,  and 
after  passing  the  reviewing  officer,  wheel  to  the  left  out  of  the  column, 
and  take  a  position  opposite  an<l  facing  him,  and  will  continue  to  play 
until  the  rear  of  the  column  shall  have  passed  him,  when  it  will  cease, 
and  follow  in  the  rear  of  the  battalion,  unless  the  battalion  is  to  pass  hi 
quick  time,  also*  in  which  case  it  will  keep  its  position. 

348.  The  officers  will  salute  the  reviewing  officer  when  they  arrive 
within  six  paces  of  him,  and  recover  their  swords  when  six  paces  past 
him.  All  officers,  in  saluting,  will  cast  their  eyes  toward  the  review- 
ing officer. 

349.  The  Colonel,  when  he  has  saluted  at  the  head  of  the  battalion, 
will  place  himself  near  the  reviewing  officer,  and  will  remain  there 
until  the  rear  has  passed,  when  he  wiy  rejoin  the  battalion. 

350.  The  colors  will  salute  the  reviewing  officer,  if  entitled  to  it, 
when  within  six  paces  of  him,  and  be  raised  when  they  have  passed  by 
him  an  equal  distance.  The  drums  will  beat  a  march,  or  ruffle,  ac- 
cording to  the  rank  of  the  reviewing  officer,  at  the  same  time  that  the 
colors  salute. 

351.  When  the  column  has  passed  the  reviewing  officer,  the  Colonel 
will  direct  it  to  the  ground  it  marched  from,  and  command, 

Guide  left, 

in  time  for  the  guides  to  cover.  The  column  having  arrived  on  its 
ground,  the  Colonel  will  command, 

1.   Column.     2.   Halt. 

form  it  in  order  of  battle,  and  cause  the  ranks  to  be  opened,  as  in  para- 
graph 341.  The  review  will  terminate  by  the  whole  saluting  as  at  the 
beginning. 

352.  If,  however,  instructions  have  been  previously  given  to  march 
the  troops  past  in  quick  time,  also,  the  Colonel  will,  instead  of  chang- 
ing the  guides,  halting  the  column  and  wheeling  it  into  line,  as  above 
directed,  give  the  command, 

1.  Quick  time.  2.  March. 
In  passing  tho  reviewing  officer  again,  no  salute  will  be  offered  by 
either  officers  or  men.  The  music  will  have  kept  its  position  opposite 
the  reviewing  officer,  and  at  the  last  command  will  commence  playing, 
and  as  the  column  approaches,  will  place  itself  in  front  of,  and  march 
off  with  the  column,  and  continue  to  play  until  the  battalion  is  halted 
on  its  original  ground  of  formation.  The  review  will  terminate  in  the 
same  manner  as  prescribed  above. 

353.  The  Colonel  will  afterwards  cause  the  troops  to  perform  such 
exerciser  and  manoeuvres  as  the  reviewing  officer  may  direct. 

354.  When  two  or  more  battalions  are  to  be  reviewed,  they  will  be 
formed  in  parade  order,  with  the  proper  intervals,  and  will  also  per- 
form the  same  movements  that  are  laid  down  fur  a  single  battalion,  ob- 
serving the  additional  directions  that  are  given  for  such  movements 
when  applied  to  the  line.  The  Brigadier  General  and  his  staff,  on  foot, 
will  place  themselves  opposite  the  centre  of  the  brigade  ;  the  Brigadier- 


38  FORMS   OF   PARAGE — GUARD-MOUNTING. 

General  two  paces  in  front  of  the  rank  of  Colonels,  his  aid  two  paces 
on  his  right,  and  one  retired  ;  and  the  other  brigade  staff  officers,  those 
having  the  rank  of  field  officers,  inthe  rank  of  Lieutenant-Colonels  and 
Majors,  and  those  below  that  rank,  in  the  rank  of  company  officers.  ^ 

355.  In  passing  in  review,  a  Major-General  will  be  four  paces  in 
front  of  the  Colonel  of  the  leading  battalion  of  his  division,  and  the 
Brigadier-General  will  be  on  the  right  of  the  Colonels  of  the  leading 
battalions  of  tneir  brigades  ;  staff  officers  on  the  left  of  their  Generals. 

356.  When  the  line  exceeds  two  battalions,  the  reviewing  officer  may 
cause  them  to  march  past  in  quick  time  only.  In  such  cases,  tho 
mounted  officers  only  Avill  salute. 

357.  A  number  of  companies  less  tKan  a  battalion  will  be  reviewed 
as  a  battalion,  and  a  single  company  as  if  it  were  with  the  battalion. 
In  the  latter  case,  the  company  may  pass  in  column  or  platoons. 

358.  If  several  brigades  are  to  be  reviewed  together,  or  in  one  line, 
this  further  difference  will  be  observed :  the  reviewing^  personage, 
joined  by  the  General  of  the  division,  on  the  right  of  his  division,  will 
proceed  down  tha  line,  parallel  to  its  front,  and  when  near  the  Briga- 
dier-Generals respectively,  will  be  saluted  by  their  brigades  in  succes- 
sion. The  music  of  each,  after  the  prescribed  salute,  will  play  while 
the  reviewing  personage  is  in  front,  or  in  rear  of  it,  and  only  them 

359.  In  marching  in  review,  with  several  battalions  in  common  time, 
the  music  of  each  succeeding  battalion  will  commence  to  play  when  tho 
music  of  the  preceding  one  has  ceased,  in  order  to  follow  its  battalion. 
When  marching  in  quick  time,  the  music  will  begin  to  play  when  the 
rear  company  of  the  preceding  battalion  has  passed  the  reviewing  of- 
ficer. 

360.  The  reviewing  officer  or  personage  will  acknowledge  .the  salute 
by  raising,  or  taking  off  his  cap  or  hat,  when  the  commander  of  the 
troops  salutes  him  ;  and  also  when  the  colors  pass.  The  remainder  of 
the  time  occupied  by  the  passage  of  the  troops  he  will  be  covered. 

361.  The  review  of  cavalry  and  artillery  will  be  conducted  on  similar 
principles,  and  according  to  the  systems  of  instruction  for  those  arms  of 
the  service. 

III.     GUARD-MOUNTING.- 

362.  Camp  and  garrison  guards  will  be  relieved  every  twenty-four 
hours.  The  guards'  at  outposts  will  ordinarily  be  relieved  in  the  same 
manner  ;  but  this  must  depend  on  their  distances  from  camp,  or  other 
.circumstances,  which  may  sometimes  require  their  continuing  on  duty 
several  days.  In  such  cases  the}'  must  be  previously  warned  to  pro- 
vide themselves  accordingly. 

363.  At  the  first  call  for  guard-mounting,  the  men  warned  for  duty, 
turn  out  on  their  company  parades  for  inspection  by  the  First  Ser- 
geants; and  at  the  second  call,  repair  to  the  regimental  or  garrison 
parade,  conducted  by  the  First  Sergeants.  Each  detachment,  as  it  ar- 
rives,'will,  under  the  direction  of  the  Adjutant,  take  post  on  the  left  of 
the  one  that  preceded  it,  in  open  order,  arms  shouldered  and  bayonets 
fixed  ;  the  supernumeraries  five  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  men  of  their 
respective  companies  ;  the  First  Sergeants  in  the  rear  of  them.     The 

.  Sergeant  Major  will  dress  the  ranks,  count  the  files,  verify  the  details, 


FORMS    Of    PARADE — GrARD-MOUXTTXC.  39 

and  when  the  guard  is  formed,  report  to  the  Adjutant,  and  take  post 
two  paces  on  tho  left  of  the  front  rank. 

3G4.  The  Adjutant  then  commands  Front,  when  the  officer  of  the 
guard  takes  post  twelve  paces  in  front  of  the  centre,  the  Sergeants  in 
one  rank,  four  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  officers  ;  and  the  Corporals  in 
one  rank,  four  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  Sergeants — all  facing  to  tho 
front.     The  Adjutant  then  assigns  their  places  in  the  guard. 

365.  The  Adjutant  will  then  command, 

1.   Officer,  and  non-commissioned  officers.     2.  About— J?ace !     3.  Inspect 

your  guards — March  ! 

The  non-commissioned  oncers  then  take  their  posts.  The  commander 
of  the  guard  then  commands, 

1.   Order — Arms!     2.  Inspection — Arms! 

and  inspects  his  guard.  When  there  is  no  commissioned  officer  on  the 
guard,  the  Adjutant  will  inspect  it.     During  inspection,  the  band  will 

r  3GG.  The  inspection  ended,  the  officer  of  the  guard  takes  post  as 
though  the  guard  were  a  company  qf  a  battalion,  in  open  order,  under 
review;  at  the  same  time,  also,  the  officers  of  the  day  will  take  post  in 
front  of  the  centre  of  the  guard  ;  the  old  officers  of  the  day  three  paces 
on  the  right  of  the  new  officers  of-the  day,  one  pace  retired. 
3G7.  The  Adjutant  will  now  command, 

1.  Parade— Rest  !     2.   Troop— Beat  off ! 
when  the  music,  beginning  on  the  right,  will  beat  down  the  line  in  front 
of  the  officer  of  the  guard  to  the  left,  and  back  to  its  place  on  the  right, 
where  it  will  cease  to  play. 

3G8.  The  Adjutant  then  commands, 

1.  Attention!     2.  Shoidder — Arms!     3.   Close  order — March! 

At  the  word  "  close  order,"  the  officer  will  face  about;  at  "march," 
resume  his  post  in  line.     The  Adjutant  then  commands, 

Present — Arms  ! 
at  whhh  he  will  face  to  the  new  officer  of  the  day,  salute,  and  report, 
"  Sir,  the  guard  is  formed.''  The  new  officer*>f  the  day,  after  acknow- 
ledging the  salute,  will  direct  the  Adjutant  to  march  the  guard  in  re- 
view, or  by  flank  to  its  post.  But  if  the  Adjutant  be  senior  to  the  offi- 
cer of  the  day,  he  will  report  without  saluting  with  the  sword  then,  or 
when  marching  the  guard  in  review. 

3G9.  In  review,  tho  guard  march  past  the  officer  of  the  day,  accord- 
ing to  the  order  of  review,  conducted  by  the  Adjutant,  marching  on 
the  left  of  the  first  division;  tho  Sergeant-Major  on  the  left  of  the  last 
division. 

370.  When  tho  column  has  passed  the  officer  of  tho  day,  the  officer 
of  the  guard  marches  it  to  its  post,  the  Adjutant  and  Sergeant  Major 
retiring.  The  music,  which  has  wheeled  out  of  the  column,  and  taken 
post  opposite  the  officer  of  the  day,  will  cease,  and  the  old  officer  of  the 
day  salute,  and  give  the  old  or  standing  orders  to  the  new  officer  of  the 
day.  The  supernumeraries,  at  the  same  time,  will  be  marched  by  the 
First  Sergeants  to  their  respective  company  parades,  and  dismissed. 


40  FORMS    OF   PARADE — GUARD-MOUNTING. 

371.  In  bad  weather  or  at  night,  or  after  fatiguing  marches,  the 
ceremony  of  turning  off  may  be  dispensed  with,  but  not  theinspecti  n. 

372.  Grand  guards,  and  other  brigade  guards,  are  organized  and 
mounted  on  the  brigade  parade  by  the  staff  officer  of  the  parade,  under 
the  direction  of  the  field.officer  of  the  day  of  the  brigade,  according  to 
the  principles  here  prescribed  for  the  police  guard  of  a  regiment,  The 
detail  of  each  regiment  is  assembled  on  the  regimental  parade,  verified 
by  the  Adjutant,  and  marched  to  the  brigade  parade  by  the  senior  offi- 
cer of  the  detail.  After  inspection  and  review,  the  officer  of  the  day 
directs  the  several  guards  to  their  respective  posts. 

373.  The  officer  of  the  old  guard  having  his  guard  paraded,  on  the 
approach  of  the  new  guard,  commands, 

Present — Arms  ! 

374.  The  new  guard  will  march,  in  quick  time,  past  the  old  guard,  at 
shouldered  arms,  officers  saluting,  and  take  post  four  paces  on  its  right, 
where,  being  aligned  with  it,  its  commander  will  order, 

Present — Arms  ! 

The  two  officers  will  then  approach  each  other  and  salute.     They  will 
then  return  to  their  respective  guards,  and  command, 

1.  Shoulder — Arms  !     2.   Order — Arms  ! 

375.  The  officer  of  the  new  guard*  will  now  direct  the  detail  for  the 
advanced  guard  to  be  formed  and  marched  to  its  post,  the  list  of  the 
guard  made  and  divided  into  three  reliefs,  experienced  soldiers  placed 
over  the  arms  of  the  guard  and  at  the  remote  and  responsible  posts,  and 
the  young  soldiers  in  posts  near  the  guard  for  instruction  in  their 
duties,  and  will  himself  proceed  to  take  possession  of  the  guardhouse 
or  guard  tent,  and  the  articles  and  prisoners  in  charge  of  the  guard. 

376.  During  the  time  of  relieving  the  sentinels  and  of  calling  in  the 
small  posts,  the  old  commander  will  give  the  new  all  the  information 
and  instructions  relating  to  his  post. 

377.  The  first  relief  having  been  designated  and  ordered  two  paces 
to  the  front,  the  Corporal  of  the  new  guard  will  take  charge  of  it,  and 
go  to  relieve  the  sentinels,  accompanied  by  the  Corporal  of  the  old 
guard,  who  will  take  command  of  the  old  sentinels,  wheu  the  whole  are 
relieved* 

378.  If  the  sentinels  are  numerous,  the  Sergeants  are  to  be  employed, 
as  well  as  the  Corporals,  in  relieving  them. 

379.  The  relief,  with  arms  at  a  support,  in  two  ranks,  will  march  by 
flank,  conducted  by  the  Corporal  on  the  side  of  the  leading  front  rank 
man ;  and  the  men  will  be  numbered  alternately  in  the  front  and  rear 
rank,  the  man  on  the  right  of  the  front  rank  being  No.  1.  Should  an 
officer  approach,  the  Corporal  will  command  carry  arms,  and  resume 
the  support  arms  when  the  officer  is  passed.    ■ 

380.  The  sentinels  at  the  guard-house,  or  guard-tent,  will  be  the  first 
relieved  and  left  behind  ;  the  others  are  relieved  in  succession. 

381.  When  a  sentinel  sees  the  relief -approaching,  he  will  halt  and 
face  to  it,  with  his  arms  at  a  shoulder.  At  six  paces,  the  Corporal  will 
command, 

1.   Belief.    2.   Halt. 


FORMS  OF  PARADE — GUARDS.  41 

when  the  relief  will  halt  and  carry  arms.  The  corporal  will  then  add, 
"  No.  1,"  or  M  No.  2,"  or  "  No.  3,"  according  to  the  number  of  the  post, 

Arms — Port  !  • 

The  two  sentinels  will,  with  arms  at  port,  then  approach  each  other* 
when  the  old  sentinel,  under  the  correction  of  the  corporal,  will  whis- 
per the  instructions  to  the  new  sentinel.  This  done,  the  two  sentinels 
will  shoulder  arms,  and  the  old  sentinel  will  pass,  in  quick  time,  to  his 
place  in  rear  of  the  relief.     The  corporal  will  then  command : 

1.  Support — Aums!     2.  Forward.     S.March! 

and  the  relief  proceeds  in  the  same  manner  until  the  whole  are  re- 
lieved. 

382.  The  detachments  and  sentinels  from  the  old  guard  having  come 
in,  it.  will  be  marched,  at  shouldered  arms,  along  the  front  of  the  new 
guard,  in  quick  time,  the  new  guard  standing  at  presented  arms ;  offi- 
cers saluting,  and  the  music  of  both  guards  beating,  except  at  the  out- 
posts. 

383.  On  arriving  at  the  regimental  or  garrison  parade,  the  commander 
of  the  old  guard  will  send  the  detachments  composing  it,  under  charge 
of  the  noncommissioned  officers,  to  their  respective  regiments.  Before 
the  men  are  dismissed,  their  pieces  will  be  drawn  or  discharged  at  a 
target.  On  rejoining  their  companions,  the  chiefs  of  squads  will  ex- 
amine the  arms,  &c,  of  their  men,  and  cause  the  whole  to  be  put  away 
in  good  order. 

384.  When  the  old  guard  has  marched  off  fifty  paces,  the  officer  of 
the  new  guard  will  order  his  men  to  stack  their  arms,  or  place  them 
in  the  arm  racks. 

385.  The  commander  of  the  guard  will  then  make  himself  acquainted 
with  all  the  instructions  for  his  post,  visit  the  sentinels,  and  question 
them  and  the  non-commissioned  officers  relative  to  the  instructions  they 
may  have  received  from  other  persons  of  the  old  guard. 

ARTICLE  XXXIII. 

GUARDS. 

386.  Sentinels  will  be  relieved  every  two  hours,  unless  the  state  of 
the  weather,  or  other  causes,  should  make  it  necessary  or  proper  that 
it  be  done  at  shorter  or  longer  intervals. 

387.  Each  relief,  before  mounting,  is  inspected  by  the  commander  of 
the  guard  or  of  its  post.  The  corporal  reports  to  him,  and  presents 
the  old  relief  on  its  return. 

388.  The  countersign,  or  watchword,  is  given  to  such  persons  as  are 
entitled  to  pass  during  the  night,  and  to  officers,  non-commissioned  offi-

sign only  when  ordered  by  the  commander  of  the  troops. 

389.  The  parole  is  imparted  to  such  officers   only  as  have  a  right  to 
visit  the  guards,'  and  to  make   the  grand  rounds ;  and  to  officers  com-  •

392.  The  officer  of  the  day  visits  the  guards  during  the  day  at  such 
tinfbs  as  he  may  deem  necessary,  and  makes  his  rounds  at  night  at 
least  once  after  12  o'clock. 

393.  Upon  being  relieved,  the  officer  of  the  day  will  make  such  re- 
marks in  the  report  of  the  officer  of  the  guard  as  circumstances  re- 
quire, and  present  the  same  at  headquarters. 

394.  Commanders  of  guards  leaving  their  posts  to  visit  their  senti-

399.  Inexperienced  officers  are  put  on  guard  as  supernumeraries,  for 
the  purpose  of  instruction. 

400.  Sentinels  will  not  take  orders  or  allow  themselves  to  be  relieved, 
except  by  an  officer  or  non-commissioned  officer  of  their  guard  or  party, 
the  officer  of  the  day,  or  the*  commanding  officer;  in  which  case  the 
orders  will  be  immediately  notified  to  the  commander  of  the  guard  by 
the  officer  giving  them. 

401..  Sentinels  will  report  every  breach  of  orders  or  regulations  they 
are  instructed  to  enforce. 

402.  Sentinels  must  keep  themselves  en  the  alort,  observing  every 
thing  that  takes  place  within  sight  and  hearing  of  their  post.  They 
will  carry  their  arms  habitually  at  support,  or  on  either  shoulder,  but 
wjll  never  quit  them.  In  wet  weather,  if  there  be  no  sentry-box,  they 
will  secure  arms. 

403.  No  sentinel  shall  quit  his  post  or  hold  conversation  not  neces- 
sary to  the  proper  discharge  of  his  duty. 

404.  All  persons,  of  whatever  rank  in  the  service,  are  required  to 
observe  respect  toward  sentinels. 

405.  In  case  of  disorder,  a  sentinel  must  call  out  the  guard ;  and  if 
a  fire  take  place,  he  must,  cry  "Fire!"  adding  the  number  of  his  post. 
It  in  either  case  th-e  danger  be  great,  he  must  discharge  his  firelock  be- 
fore calling  out. 

406.  It  is  the  duty  of  a  sentinel  to  repeat  all  calls  made  from  posts 
more  distant  from  the  main  body  of  the  guard  than  his  own,  and  no 
sentinel  will  be  posted  so  distant  as  not  to  be  heard  by  the  guard,  either 
directly  or  through  other  sentinels. 

407.  Sentinels  will  present  arms  to  general  and  field  officers,  to  the 
officer  of  the  day,  and  to  the  commanding  officer  of  the  post.  To  all 
other  officers  they  will  carry  arms.

GUARDS.  43 

bringing  the  left  hand  briskly  to  the  musket,  as  high  as  the  right 
Bhoulder. 

400.  The  sentinel  at  any  post  of  the  guard,  when  he  sees  any  body 
of  troops,  or  an  officer  entitled  to  compliment,  approach,  must  call 
"Turn  out  the  guard!"  and  announce  who  approaches. 

410.  Guards  do  not  turn  out  as  a  matter  of  compliment  after  sunset ; 
but  sentinels  will,  when  officers  in  uniform  approach,  pay  them  proper 
attention,  by  facing  to  the  proper  front,  and  standing  steady  at  shoul- 
dered arms.  This  will  be  observed  until  the  evening  is  so  far  advanced 
tli at  the  sentinels  begin  challenging. 

411.  After  retreat  (or  the  hour  appointed  by  the  commanding  officer), 
until  bread  daylight,  a  sentinel  challenges  every  person  who  approaches 
him,  taking,  at  the  same  time  the  position  of  arms  port,  lie  will  suf- 
fer no  person  to  come  nearer  than  within  reach  of  his  bayonet,  until  the 
person  has  given  the  countersign. 

412.  A  sentinel,  in  challenging,  will  call  out — "Who  comes  there?" 
If  answered — "Friend,  with  the  countersign"  and  he  be  instructed  to 
pass  persons  with  the  countersign,  be  will  reply,  "Advance  friend,  with' 
the  countersign  I"  If  answered — "Friends  !"  he  will  reply,  "  HaU 
friends  1  Advance  one,  with  the  countersign  !"    If  answered — "Fdicf," 

"latrol,"  or  "  GrqQJHbfounds"  he  will  reply — 'Halt!  Advance,  Ser- 
geant [oi  Corporal)  with  the  countersign!"  and  satisfy  himself  that  the 
party  ia  what  it  represents  itself  to  be.  If  he  have  no  authority  to  pass 
persons  with  the  countersign,  if  the  wrong  countersign  be  given,  or  if 
the.  persona  have  not  the  countersign,  he  will  cause  them  to  stand,  and 
call,  "Corporal  of  the  Guard!" 

4ir5.  In  the  daytime,  when  the  sentinel  before  the  guard  sees  the  offi- 
cer of  the  day  approach,  he  will  call — "Turn  out  the  guard  I  Officer  of 
the  day."     The  guard  will  be  paraded,  and  salute  with  presented  arms. 

414.  When  any  person  approaches  a  post  of  the  guard  at  night,  the 
sentinel  before  the  post,  after  challenging,  causes  him  to  halt  until  ex- 
amined by  a  non-commissioned  officer  of  the  guard.  If  it  be  the  officer 
of  the  day,  or  any  other  officer  entitled  to  inspect  the  guard  and  to 
make  the  rounds,  the  non-commissioned  officer  will  call — "Tuy%  out  the 
guard!"  when  the  guard  will  be  paraded  at  shouldered  arms,  and  tho 
officer  of  the  guard,  if  he  thinks  necessary,  may  demand  the  counter- 
sign and  parole.  .  • 

415.  The  officer  of  the  day,  wishing  to  make  the  rounds,  will  take 
an  escort  of  a  non-commissioned  officer  and  two  men.  When  the  rounds 
are  challenged  by  a  sentinel,  the  sergeant  will  answer — "  Grand 
rounds!"  and  the  sentinel  will  reply — "flalt,  grand  rounds!  Advance, 
Sergeant,  with  the  countersign!"'  Upon  which  the  sergeant  advances 
and  gives  the  countersign.  The  sentinel  will  then  cry — "Advance 
rounds  !"  and  stand  at  a  shoulder  till  they  have  passed. 

410.  When  the  sentinel  before  the  guard  challenges,  and  is  answered 
— "  Grand  rounds  !"  he  Avill  reply — "Halt,  grand  rounds!  Turn  out 
the  guard ;  grand  rounds  !"  Upon  which  the  guard  will  be  drawn  up 
at  shouldered  arms.  Tho  officer  commanding  the  guard- will  then  order 
a  sergeant  and  two  men  to  advance;  when  within  ten  paces  the  ser- 
geant challenges.  The  sergeant  of  the  grand  round  answers — "Grand 
rounds!"     The   sergeant  of   the   guard   replies — " Advance,  Sergeant,

tcith  the  courdersign!"  The  SergeaTit  of  the  rounds  advances  alone, 
gi,ves  the 'countersign,  And  returns  to  his  round.  The  Sergeant  of  the 
guard  calls  to  his  officer — "The  countersign  is  right!"  on  which  the 
officer  of  the  guard  calls — "Advance  rounds  !  "  The  officer  of  the  rounds 
then  advances  alone,  the  guard  standing  at  shouldered  arms.  The  officer 
of  the  rounds  passes  along  the  front  of  the  guard  to  the  officer,  who 
keeps  his  "post  on  the  right,  and  gives  him  the  parole.  He  then  exam- 
ines the  guard,  orders  back  his  escort,  and  taking  a  new  one,  proceeds 
in  the  same  manner  to  other  guards. 

417.  All  material  instructions  given  to  a  sentinel  on  p  >st  by  persons 
entitled  to  make  grand  rounds,  ought  to  be  promptly  notified  to  the 
commander  of  the  guard. 

418.  Any  General  officer,  or  the  commander  of  a  post  or  garrison, 
may  visit  the  guards  of  his  command,  and  go  the  grand  rounds,  and  be 
received  in  the  same  manner  as  prescribed  for  the  officer  of  the  day. 

ARTICLE  XXXIV. 

ORDERS  AND  CORRESPONDENCE. 

419.  The  orders  of  commanders  of  armies,  divisions,  brigades,  regi- 
ments, are  denominated  orders  of  such  army)  division,  &c,  and  are 
either  general  or  special.  Orders  are  numbered,  general  and  special, 
in  separate  series,  each  beginning  with  the  year. 

420.  General  orders  announce  the  time  and  place  of  issues  and  pay- 
ments, hours  for  roll  calls  and  duties;  the  numberand  kind  of  order- 
lies, and  the  time  when  they  shall  be  relieved  ;  police  regulations,  and 
the  prohibitions  required  by  circumstances  and  localities  ;  returns  to  be 
made,  and  their  forma  ;  laws  and  regulations  for  the  army;  promotions 
and  appointments ;  eulogies  or  censures  to  corps  or  individuals,  and 
generally,  whatever  it  may  be  important  to  make  known  to  the  whole 
command. 

421.  Special  orders  are  such  as  do  not  concern  the  troops  generally, 
and  need  not  be  published  to  the  whole  command  ;  such  as  relates  to  the 
march  of  some  particular  corps,  the  establishment  of  some  post,  the  de- 
taching of  individuals,  the  granting  requests,  &c,  &c. 

422.  A  general  order,  and  an  important  special  order,  must  be  read 
and  approved  by  the  officer  whose  order  it  is,  before  it  is  issued  by  the 
staff  officer. 

423.  An  order  will  state  at  the  head,  the  source,  place  and  date,  and 
at  the  foot,  the  name  of  the  commander  who  gives  it;  as  for  example :

By  command  of  Brigadier  General  A.  B. 

C.  D.,  Assistant  Adjutant-General.

strict  military  form,  through  the  office  of  the  Adjutant  or  Adjutant  and 
Inspector  General  of  the  command. 

425.  Orders  are  transmitted  through  all  the  intermediate  commanders

shall  report  it  to  his  immediate  superior. 

426.  Orders  for  any  body  of  troops  will  be  addressed  to  the  com- 
mander, and  will  be  opened  and  executed  by  the  commander  present, 
and  published  or  distributed  by  him  when  necessary  ;  printed  orders, 
however,  are  generally  distributed  direct  to  posts  from  the  headquar- 
ters where  issued, 

427.  Orders  assigning  the  stations  of  officers  of  .engineers,  ordnance, 
and  of  the  staff  departments,  except  as  provided  in  the  regulations  for 
froops  in  the  campaign,  will  be  given  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  through 
the  Adjgtant  and  Inspector-General's  office,  or  by  commanders  of  geo- 
graphical departments,  under  the  special  authority  of  the  War  Depart- 
ment. The  commander  of  a  department,  who,  in  consequence  of  the 
movement  of  troops  or  other  necessity  of  the  service,  removes  an  officer 
Trom  the  station  assigned  to  him  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  shall  prompt- 
ly report  the  case  to  the  Adjutant  and.  Inspector-General. 

428.  A  file  of  the  printed  orders  will  be  kept  with  the  head-quarters 
of  each  regiment,  with  each  company,  and  at  each  military  post,  and 
will  be  regularly  turned  over  by  the  commander,  when  relieved,  to  his 
successor. 

429.  If  general  orders  are  not  received  in  regular  succession,  com- 
manding officers  will  report  the  missing  numbers  to  the  proper  head- 
quarters. 

430.  The  orderly  hours  being  fixed  at  each  head-quarters,  the  staff 
officers  and  chiefs  of  the  special  services  either  attend  in  person,  or 
send  their  assistants  to  obtain  the  orders  of  the  day-;  and  the  First  Ser- 
geants of  companies  repair  for  that  purpose  to  the  regimental  or  garri- 
son head-quarters. 

•  431.  During  marches  and  active  operations,  and  when  the  regular 
orderly  hours  cannot  be  observed,  all  orders  will  be  either  sent  direct 
to  the  troops,  or  the  respective  commanders  of  regiments  or  corps  will 
be  informed  when  to  send  to  head-quarte,rs  for  them.  Under  the  same 
circumstances,  orders  will  be  read  to  the  troops  during  a  halt,  without 
waiting  for  th-e  regular  parades. 

432.  Orders  to  any  officer  to  make  a  tour  of  travel  on  duty,  as  for 
the  inspection  or  payment  of  troops,  &c,  shall  designate  the  troops  and 
posts  he  shall  visit,  and  the  order  in  which  he  shall  visit  them,  and  the 
route  of  travel. 

433.  Every  commander  who  gives  an  order  involving  an  expenditure 
of  public  money,  shall  send  a  copy,  without  delay,  to  the  bureau  of  the 
W'ar  Department  to  which  the  expenditure  appertains :  and  if  such 
commander  be  serving  in  a  military  dcpaitment,  he  shall  send  a  copy 
of  the  order  to  the  .head-quarters  of  the  Department. 

434.^  If  a  military  commander  shall  give  to  a  disbursing  officer  any 
order  in  conflict  with  orders  received  by  him  from  the  office  in  charge 
of  his  department,  at  any  superior  head-quarters,  suvh- commander  shall 
forthwith  transmit  the  order  to  such  head-quarters,  with  explanation  of 
the  necessity  which  justifies  it. 

435.  Copies  of  all  orders  of  the  commanders  of  armies,  departments' 
divisions,  and  detached  brigades,  and  of  the  superintendent  of -the  re- 
cruiting service,  will  be  forwarded  at  their  dates,  or  as  soon  thereafter

command,  may  be  made  by  his  staff  officer.  In  all  other  cases,  by  the 
officer  himself. 

437.  In  signing  an  official  communication,  the  writer  shall  annex  to 
his  name  his  rank  and  corps.  When  he  writes  by  order,  he  shall  state

the  Post-Office  to  which  they  should  be  sent. 

438.  Communications  to  a  commander  from  those  under  his  com- 
mand are  addressed  to  the  proper  officer  of  his  staff;  to  the  chief  of  the 
Adjutant  and  Inspector-General's  Department,  in  what  relates  specially 
to  his  bureau,  or  to  the  service  generally ;  to  the  chief  of  any  other  de- 
partments of  the  staff,  in  what  relates' specially  to  his  branch  of  the 
service.  Communications  to  the  Secretary  of  War  will  be  made  through 
the  Adjutant  and  Inspector-General's  office  of  the  War  Department, 
unless  it  be  a  case  of  claim,  allowance,  or  other  business  specially  ap- 
pertaining to  some  other  bureau;  for  example — claims  of  pay  or  for 
mileage,  or  quarters,  will  be  transmitted  {through  the  Quartermaster- 
General.  All  communications,  except  rolls  and  stated  returns,  and 
accounts,  are  to  be  passed  through  the  intermediate  commanders. 
The  same  rule  governs  in  verbal  applications;  for  example — a. Lieuten- 
ant seeking  an  indulgence  must  apply  through  his  Captain.  Commu- 
nication from  officers  of  the  staff  and  administrative  service*  to  their 
own  chiefs  do  not  pass  through  the  military  commanders  under  whom 
they  serve,  except  estimates  for  funds  or  supplies.

War  Department  to  disbursing  officers,  relating  to  the  service  in  a  mil- 
itary department,  shall  be  sent  from  the  bureau  to  the  department  com- 
mander. 

440.  .Kills  and  returns  will  be  accompanied  by  a  letter  of  transmittal, 
enumerating  them,  and  referring  to  no  other  subject. 

441.  Generally  officers  who  forward  communications,  indorse  on  them 
their  remarks  of  opinion,  without  other  letters  of  transmittal. 

442.  Official  letters  should  generally  refer  to  one  matter  only.  In  re- 
gard to  an  enlisted  man,  the  company  and  fegiment  must  be  stated. 

*  443.  Letters  on  letter  paper  will  be  folded  in  three  folds,  parallel  with 
the  writing. 

444.  All  communications  on  public  service  are  to  be  marked  on  tho

TROpPS  IN   CAMPAIGN. 

ORGANIZATION    Or   AN    ARMY    IN    THE    FIELD. 

0 

461.  The  formation  by  divisions  is  the  basis  of  the  organization  and 
administration  of  armies  in  the  field. 

462.  A  division*  consists  usually  of  two  or  three  brigades,  .either  of 
infantry  or  cavalry,  and  troops  of  other  corps  in  the  necessary  propor- 
tion. 

463.  A  brigade  is  formed  of  two  or  more  regiments.  %i\Q  first  num- 
ber takes  the  right. 

464.  Mixed  brigades  are  sometimes  formed  of  infantry  and  light  cav- 
alry, especially  for  the  advance  guards. 

465.  As  the  troops  arrive  at  tke  rendezvous,  the  general  commanding- 
in-ehief  will  organize  them  into  brigades  and  divisions: 

466.  The  light  cavalry  is  employed  as  flankers  arid  partizans,  and 
generally  for  all  service  out  of  the  line. 

467.  Heavy  cavalry  belongs  to  tbe  reserve,  and  is  covered,  when  ne- 
cessary, in  marches,  camps,  or  bivouacs,  by  light  troops,  or  infantry  of 
the  line. 

468.  The  arrangement  of  the  troops  on  parade  and  in  order  of  battle 
is — 1st,  the  light  infantry  ;  2d,  infantry  of  the  line ;  3d,  light  cavalry  ; 
4th,  cavalry  of  the  line;  5th,  heavy  cavalry*.  The  troops  of  the  artil- 
lery and  engineers  are  in  the  centre  of  the  brigades,  divisions,  or  corps 
to  which  they  are  attached  ;  marines  take  the  left  of  other  infantry ; 
volunteers  and  militia  take  the  left  of  regular  troops  of  the  same  arm, 
and  among  themselves,  regiments  of  volunteers  or  militia  of  the  same 
arm  take  place  by  lot. «  This  arrangement  is  varied  by  the  general  com- 
manding in-chief,  as  the  circumstances  of  war  render  expedient. 

469.  Brigades  in  divisions,  and  divisions  in*  the  army,  arc  numbered 
fromright  to  left;  but  in  reports  of  military  operations,  brigades  and 
divisions  are  designated  by  the  name  of  the  general  commanding  them. 

470.  The  order  of  regiments  in  brigades  and  of  brigades  in  divisions 
may  be  changed  by  the  commander  of  the  division  for  important  rea- 
sons, such  as  the  weakness  of  some  corps,  or  to  relieve  one  from  march- 
ing too  long  at  the  rear  of  the  column.  Such  changes  must  be  reported 
to  the  general  commanding  in-chief. 

_  471.  The  general  commanding-in-chief  assigns  the  generals  of  divi- 
sions and  of  brigades  to  their  respective  commands,,  when  the  assign- 
ment is  not  made  by  the  Department  of  War. 

472.  The  general  of  brigade  inspects  his  troops  in  detail,  bv  compa- 
nies, when  he  takes  the  command  and  at  the  opening  of  the  campaign, 


#  TR1BITIONS ORDERLIES.  51 

and  as  often  as  may  be  necessary  to  ascertain  exactly  their  condition. 
The  general  of  division  makes  similar  inspections  when  he  thinks  pro- 
per. At  these  inspections  the  generals  examine  the  arms,  clothing, 
equipments,  harness,  horses,  &c. ;  direct  the  necessary  repairs,  and  de- 
signate the  men  and  horses  to  remain  in  depot,  or  march  wkb  the  train. 

473.  Reports  of  inspections  are  made  by  the  general  of  brigade  to 
the  general  of  division,  and  by  the  geueral  of  division  to  the  general 
commanding-in-chief. 

474.  During  marches  and  all  active  operations,  generals  of  brigade 
keep  themselves  exactly  informed,  bv  reports  of  corps  and  by  their  in- 
spections, of  the  actual  strength  of  the  regiments,  so  as  always,  and  * 
especially  after  an  engagrment,  to  make  accurate  returns  to  the  general 
of  division.  *. 

475.  Staff  officers  and  officers  of  engineers,  and  artillery,  according 
to  the  nature  of  the  service,  are  assigned  to  the  headquarters  of  ar- 
mies and  divisions,  and  detached  brigades,  by  order  of  the  general  oom- 
manding-in-chief,  when  the  distribution  of  these  officers  has  not  been 
regulated  by  the  War  Department.  The  necessary  staff  will  be  assign- 
ed to  commandersof  brigades. 

476.  When  an  Engineer  or  other  officer  is  charged  with  directing  an 
expedition  or  making  a  reconnoisance,  without  having  command  of  the 
escort,  the  commandor  of  tho  escort  shall  consult  him  on  all  the  arrange- 
ments necessary  to  secure  the  success  of  the  operation. 

477.  Staff  officere,  and  commanders  of  engineers,  and  artillery,  re» 
port  to  their  immediate  commanders  the  state  of  the  supplies,  and  what- 
ever concerns  the  service  under  their  direction,  and  receive  their  orders, 
and  communicate  to  them  those  they  receive  from  their  superiors  in 
their  own  corps. 

478.  The  senior  officer  of  engineers,  of  artillery,  and  the  departments 
of  the  general  staff  serving  at  the  chief  headquarters  in  the  field^  will 
transmit  to  the  bureau  of  his  department  at  Richmond,  at  the  close  of 
the  campaign,  and  such  other  times  as  the  commander  in  the  field  may 
approve,  a  full  report  of  the  operations  of  his  department,  and  what- 
ever information  to  improve  its  service  he  may  be  able  to  furnish.  ^ 

The  report -of  the  officer  of  engineers  will  embrace  plans  of  military 
works  executed  during  the  campaign,  and,  in  case  of  siege,  a  journal  of 
the  attack  or  defence.  , 

Contributions. 

H79.  When  the  wants  of  the  army  absolutely  require  it,  anji  in  other 
cases,  under  special  instructions  from  the  War  Department,  the  general 
commanding  the  army  may  levy  contributions  in  money  or  kind  on  the 
enemy's  country  ocoupied  hy  the  troops.  No  other  commander  can«levy 
such  contributions  without  written  authority  from  the  general  com- 
manding-in  chief, 

,  ORDERLIES. 

480.  At  the  opening  of  a  campaign,  the  commander  oT  an  army  de- 
termines and  announces  in  orders  the  number  of  orderlies,  mounted  or 
foot,  for  the  Generals,  and  the  corps  or  regiments  by  which  they  are  to 
be  supplied,  and  the  periods  at  which  they  shall  be  relieved. 

481.  In  marches,  the  mounted  orderlies  follow  tfce  Generals,  and 


62  DEPOTS — CAMPS.     . 

perform  the  duty  of  escorts,  or  march  with  orderlies  on  foot  at  the  head 
of  the 'division  or  brigade.  . 

482.  The  staff  officer  who  distributes  the  orderlies  to  their  posts  sends 
with  them  a  note  of  the  timo  and  place  of  departure  ;  those  relieved 
receive  a  like  note  from  the.  st-aff  officer  at  headquarters. 

483.  Mounted  soldiers  are  to  be  employed  to  carry  dispatches  only  in 
special  and  urgent  cases. 

484.  The  precise  time  when  the  dispatch  is  sent  off,  and  the  rate  at 
which  it  is  to  be  conveyed,  are  to  be  written  clearly  on  the  covers  of  all 
letters  transmitted  by  a  mounted  orderly,  and  the  necessary  instruc- 
tions to  him,  and  the  rate  of  travel  going  and  returning,  are  to  be  dis- 
tinctly explained  to  him. 

*  DEPOTS, 

*  m 

m 

485.  The  grand  depots  of  an  army  are  established  where  the  niilitary 
operations  would  not  expose  them  to  be  brcken  up.  Smaller  depots  are 
organized  for  the  divisions  and  the- several  arms.  They  are  command- 
ed by  officers  temporarily  disabled  for  field  service,  or  by  other  officers 
when  necessary,  and  comprise,  as  much  as  possible,  the  hospitals  and 
depots  fur  convalescents.  When  conveniently  placed,  they  fcerve  as 
points  for  the  halting  and  a^embling  of  detachments.  They  receive 
the  disabled  from  the  corps  on  the  march  ;  and  the  officers  in  command 
of  the  depots  send  with  the  detachments  to  the  army  those  at  the  depots 
who  have  become  fit  for  service. 

CAMPS. 

486.  Camp  is  the  place  were  troops  are  established  in  tents,  in  huts, 
or  in  bivouac.  Cantonments  are  the  inhabited  places  which  troops 
occupy  for  shelter  when  not  put  in  barracks.  The  camping-party  is  a 
detachment  detailed  to  prepare  a  carnp< 

487.  Reconnoissances  should  precede  the  establish  merit  of  the  camp. 
For  a  camp  of  troops  on  the  march,  it  is  only  necessary  to  look  to  the 
health  and  comfort  of  the  troops,  the  facility  of  the  communications, 
the  convenience  of  wood  and  water,  and  the  resources  in  provisions  and 
forage.  The  ground  for  an  intrenched  camp,  or  a  camp  to  cover  a 
country,  or  one  designed  to  deceive  the  enemy  as  to  the  strength  of 
the  army,  must  be  selected,  and  the  camp  arranged  for  the  object  in 
view.  • 

488.  The  camping-party  of  a  regiment  consists  of  the  regimental 
Quartermastor  and  Quartermaster. Sergeant,  and  a  Corporal  and  two 
men  per  company.  The  General  decides  whether  the  regiments  camp 
separately  or  together,  and  whether  the  police  guard  shall  accompany 
the  camping-party,  or  a  larger  escort  shall  be  sent. 

489.  Neither  baggage  nor  led  horses  are  permitted  to  move  with  the 
camping  party. 

490.  When  the  General  can  send  in  advance  to  prepare  the  cnmp.  he 
gives  his  instructions  to  the  chief,  of  the  Qartermaster's  Department, 
who  calls  on  the  regiment  for  their  camping-parties,  and  is  accompa- 
nied, if  necessary,  by  an  Engineer  to -propose  the  defences  and  commu- 
nications. 

491.  The  watering-places  are  examined,  and  signals  placed  at  those 


#  INFANTRY. 

that  are  dangerou*.  Any  work  required  to  make  them  of  easier  acoess 
is  done  by  the  police  guard  or  Q  H  taster's  men.  Sentinels,  to  be 
relieved  by  the  guards  of  the  regiment  when  they  come  up,  are  placed 
by  the  camping-party  over  the  water  if  it  is  scarce,  and  over  the  houses 
and  stoves  of  provisions  and  forage  in  the  vicinity. 

492.  If  the  camping  party  does  not  precede  the  regiment,  the  Quar- 
tet tends  to  these  things  as  soon  as  the  regiment  reaches  the 
camp. 

493.  Qn  reaching  the  ground,  the  infantry  form  on  the  color  front ; 
the  cavalry  in  rear  of  its  camp. 

494.  The  General's  establish  the  troops  irt  camp  as  rapidly  as  possible, 
particularly  after  long,  fatiguing  marches. 

495.  The  number  of  men  to  be  furnished  for  guards,  picket?,  and 
orderlies  ;  the  fatigue  parties  to  be  sent  for  supplies;  the  work  to  be 
done,  and  the  strength  of  the  working  parties  ;  the  time  and  place  for 
issues  ;  the  hour  of  marching,  &c,  are  then  announced  by  the  Briga- 
dier Generals  to  the  Colonels,  and  by  them  to  the  field  officers— the 
Adjutant  and  Captains  formed  in  front  of  the  regiment,  the  First  Ser- 
geants taking  post  behind  their  Captains.  The  Adjutant  tjien  makes 
the  details,  and  the  First  Sergeants  warn  the  men.  The  regimental 
officer  of  tiie  day  forms  the  picket,  and  sends  the  guards  to  their  posts. 
The  colors  are  then  planted  at  the  centre  of  the  color  line,  and  the  arms 
are  stacked  on  the  line  ;  the  fatigue  parties  to  procure  supplies,  and  the 
working  parties  form  in  rear  of  the  arms  ;  .the  men  not  on  detail  pitch 
the  ten;-. 

496.  If  the  camp  is  near  the  enemy,  the  picket  remains  under  arms 
until  the  return  of  the  fatigue  parties,  and,  if  necessary,  is  reinforced 
by  deta:!s  from  each  company. 

497.  In  the  cavalry,  each  troop  moves  a  little  in  rear  of  the  point  at 
which  its  hordes  are  to  be  secured,  and  forms  in  one  rank;  the  men  then 
dismount ;  a  detail  is  made  to  hold  the  horses  ;  the  rest  stack  their  arms 
and  fix  the  picket  rope  ;  after  the  horses  are  attended  to,  the  tents  are 
pitched,  and  each  horseman  places  his  carbine  at  the  side  from  the 
weather,  and  hangs  his  sabre  and  bridle  on  it. 

498.  The  standard  is  then  carried  to  the  tent  of  the  Colonel. 

499.  The  terms  front,  flank,  right,  left,  file,  and  rank,  have  the  same 
meaning  when  applied  to  camps  as  to  the  order  of  battle. 

500;  The  front  of  the  camp  is  usually  equal  to  the  front  of  the  troops. 
The  tents  are*arranged  in  ranks  and  files.  The  number  of  ranks  varies 
with  the  strength  of  the  companies  and  the  size  of  the  tents. 

501.  No  officer  will  be  allowed  to  occupy,  house,  although  vacant 
and  on  the  ground  of  his  camp,  except  by  permission  of  the  commander 
of  the  brigade,  who  shall  report  it  to  the  commander  of  the  division. 

502.  The  staff  officer  charged  with  establishing  the  camp  will  desig- 
nate the  placo  for  the  shambles.     The  offal  will  be  buried. 

CAMP    OF    JNFANTKY. 

503.  Each  company  has  its  tents  in  two  files,  facing  on  a  street  per- 
pendicular to  the  M^or  line.  The  widtf*  of  the  street  depends  on  tho 
front  of  the  camp,  but  should  not  be  lest  than  five  paces.  The  interval 
between  the  ranks  of  tents  is  two  paces ;  between  the  files  of  tents  of 
adlaccnt  companies,  two  paces  :  between  regimentB.  tw«nty-two  races, 


54  CAMP  Or  CAVALRY. 

504.  The  color  line  is  ten  paces  in  front  of  the  front  rank*of  tents. 
The  kitchens  are  twenty  paces  behind  the  rear  rank  of  company  tents  ; 
the  non-commissioned  staff  and  ^utler,  twenty  paces  in  rear  of  the 
kitchen  ;  the  company  officers,  twenty  paces  farther  in  rear ;  and  the 
field  and  staff,  twenty  paces  in  rear  of  the  company  off  cers. 

505.  The  company  officers  are  in  rear  of  their  respective  companies  ; 
the  Captains  on  the  right.  • 

506.  The  Colonel  and  Lieutenant-Colonel  are  near  the  centre  ot  the 
line  of  field  and  staff;  the  Adjutant,  a  Major  and  Surgeon,  on  the  right ; 
the  Quartermaster,  a  Major  and  Assistant  Surgeon,  en  the  left. 

507.  The  police  guard  is  at  the  centre  of  the  line  of  the  non-commis- 
sioned staff,  the  tents  facing  to  the  front,  the  stacks  of  arms  on  the  left. 

508.  The  advanced  post  of  the  police  guard  is  about  200  paces  in 
front  of  the  color  line,  and  opposite  the  centre  of  the  regiment,  or  on  the 
test  ground  ;  the  prisoners'  tent  about  four  paces  in  rear.  In  a  regi- 
ment of  the  second  line,  the  advanced  post  of  the  police  guard  is  ^00 
paces  in  rear  of  the  line  of  its  field  and  staff. 

509.  The  horses  of  the  staff  officers  and  of  the  boggnge  train  are 
twenty-five  paces  in  rear  of  the  tents  of  the  field  and  staff;  the  wagons 
are  parked  on  the  same  line,  and  the  men  of  the  train  camped  near 

them.        •  i 

510.  The  sinks  of  the  men  are  150  paces  in  front  of  the  color  line— 
those  of  the  officers  100  paces  in  rear  of  the 'train.  Both  are  concealed 
by  bushes.  When  convenient,  the  sinks  of  the  men  iwaw  be  placed  in 
the  rear  or  on  the  flank.  A  porfeon  of  the  earth  dug  out  for  sinks  to  be 
thrown  back  occasionally. 

511.  The  front  of  the  camp  of  a  regiment  of  1000  men  in  two  rnnks 
will  be  400  paces,  or  one-fifth  less  paces  than  the  number  of  files,  if  the 
camp  is  to  have  the  same  front  as  the  troops  in  order  of  battle.  But 
the  front  may  be  reduced  to  190  paces  by  narrowing  the  company 
streets  to  five  paces  ;  and  if- it  bedenirable  to  reduce  the  front  still  more, 
the  tents  of  companies  may  be  pitched  in  single  file — those  of  a  division 
facing  on  the  same  street. 

CAMP   OF   CAVALRY. 

512.  In  the  cavalry,  each'company  has  one  file  of  tents — the  tents 
opening  on  the  street  facing  the  left  of  the  camp. 

613.  The  horses  of  each  company  are  placed  in  a  single  file,  facing 
the  opening  of  the  tents,  and  are  fastened  to  pickets  planted  firmly  in 
the  ground,  from  three  to  six  paces  from  the  tents  of  the. troops. 

514.  The  interval  between  the  file  of  tents  should  be  such,  that,  the 
regiment  being  broken  into  column  of  companies,  each  company  should

523.  The  field  and  staff  have  their  horses  on  the  left  of  their  tents, 
on  the  same  line  with  the  company  horses  ;  sick  horses  are  placed  in

have  a  separate  file  of  tents  ;  the  forges  and  wagons  in  roar  of  this  file. 
The  horses  of  the  train  and  of  camp  followers  are  in  one  or  more  files 
extending  to  the  rear,  behind  the  right  or  left  squadron.  The  advanced 
post  of  the  police  guard  is  200  paces  in  front,  opposite  the  centre  of  the 
regiment ;  the  horses  in  one  or  two  files. 

524."  The  sinks  for  the  men  are  150  paces  in  front — those  for  officers, 
100  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  camp! 

CAMP    OF    ARTILLERY. 

525.  The  artillery  is  encamped  near  the  troops  to  which  it  is  attached, 
so  as  to  be  protected  from  attack,  and  to  contribute  to  the  defence  of 
the  camp.  Sentinels  for  the  park  are  furnished  by  the  artillery,  and, 
when  necessary,  by  the  other  troops. 

526.  For  a  battery  of  six  pieces,  the  tents  are  in  three  files — one  for 
each  section  ;  distance  between  the  ranks  of  tents,  15  paces;  tents 
opening  to  the  front.  The  horses  of  each  section  are  picketed  in  one 
file,  10  paces  to  the  left  of  the  file  of  tents.  In  the  horse  artillery,  or  if 
the*n  umber  of  horses  makes  it  necessary,  the  horses  are  in  two  files,  on 
the  right  raid  left  of  the  file  of  tents.  The  kitchens  are  25  paces  in 
front  of  the  front  rank  of  tent?.  The  tents  of  the  officers  are  in  the 
©utsfde  files  of  company  tents,  25  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  rear  rank — 
the  Captain  on  the  right,  the  Lieutenants  on  the  left. 

527.  The  park  is  opposite  the  centre  of  the.camp,  40  paces  in  rear  of 
the  officers'  tents.  The  carriages  in  files  four  paces  apart ;  distance 
between  ranks  of  carriages  sufficient  for  the  horses  when  harnessed  to 
#iem  ;  the  ftark  guard  is  25  paces  in  rear  of  the  park.  The  sinks  for 
the  men  150  paces  in  front;  for  the  officers  100  paces  in  the  rear.  The 
harness  is  in  the  tents  of  the  men. 

BIVOUACS. 

528.  A  regiment  of  cavalry  being  in  order  of  battle,  in  rear  of  the 
gn  und  to  be  occupied,  the  Colonel  breaks  it  by  platoons  to  the  right. 
The  horses  of  each  platoon  are  placed  in  a  single  row,  and  fastened  as 
prescribed  for  camps  ;  near  the  enemy,  they  remain  saddled  all  night, 
with  slackened  girths.  The  arms  are  at  first  stacked  in  rear  of  each 
row  of  horses,  the  sabres,  with  the  bridles  hung  on  them,  are  placed 
against  the  stacks, 


5t5  CANTONMENTS. 

529.  The  forage  is  placed  on  the  right  of  each  row  of  horsep.  Two 
stable-guards  for  each  platoon  watch  the  horses. 

530.  A  fire  for  each  platoon  is  made  near  the  color  line,  20  paces  to 
the  left  of  the  row  of  horses.  A  shelter  is  mrfde  for  the  men  around 
the  fire,  if  possible,  and  each-  man  then  stands  his  arms  and  bridle 
against  the  shelter. 

531.  The  fires  and  shelter  for  the  officers  are  placed  in  rear  of  the 
line  of  those  for  the  men. 

532.  The  intervals  between  the  squadrons  must"  be  without  obstruc- 
tion throughout  the  whole  depth  of  the  bivouac. 

533.  The  interval  between  the  shelters  should  be  such  that  the  pla- 
toons con  take  up  a  line  of  battle  freely  to  the  front  or  rear. 

534.  The  distance  from  the  enemy  decides  the  manner  in  which  the 
horses  are  to  be  fed  and  led  to  water.  When  it  is  permitted  to  unsad- 
dle, the  saddles  are  placed  in  the  rear  of  the  horses.  • 

535.  In  infantry,  the  fires  are  made  in  rear  of  the  color  line,  on  the 
ground  that  would  be  occupied  by  the  tents  in  camp.  The  companies 
are  placed  around* them,  and,  if  possible,  construct  shelters.  When 
liable  to  surprise,  the  infantry  should  stand  to  arms  at  daybreak,  and 
the  cavalry  mount  until  the  return  of  the  reconnoitering  parties.  If 
the  arms  are  to  be  taken  apart  to  clean,  it  must  be  done  by  detach- 
ments, successively.  • 

CANTONMENTS. 

536.  The  cavalry  should  be  placed  under  shelter  whenever  the  dis- 
tance from  the  enemy,  and  from  the  ground  where  the  troops  are  to 
form  for  battle,  permit  it.  Taverns  and  farm  houses,  with  large  stables 
and  free  access,  are  selected  for  quartering  them. 

537.  The  Colonel  indicates  the  place  of  assembling  in  case  of  alarm. 
It  should  generally  be  outside  the  cantonment ;  the  egress  from  it  should 
be  free,  the  retreat  upon  the  other  positions  secure,  and  roads  leading 
to  it  on  the  side  of  the  enemy  obstructed. 

538.  The  necessary  orders  bemg  given,  as  in  ewtablishinga  camp,  the 
picket  and  grand  guards  are  posted.  A  sentinel  may  be  placed  on  a 
steeple  or  high  house,  and  then  the  troops  are  marched- to  the  quarters. 
The  men  sleep  in  the  stables,  if  it  is  thought  necessary. 

539.  The  above  applies  in  the  main  to  infantry.  Near  the  enemy, 
companies  or  platoons  should  be  collected,  as  much  as  possible,  in  the 
same  houses.  If  companies  must  be  separated,  they  should  be  dhided 
by  platoons  or  squads.     All  take  arms  at  daybreak.  • 

540.  When  cavalry  and  infantry  canton  together,  the  latter  furnish 
the  guards  by  night,  and  the  former  by  day. 

541.  Troops  cantoned  in  presence  of  the  enemy,  should  be  covered 
by  advanced  guards  and  natural  or  artificial  obstacles.  Cantonments 
taken  during  a  cessation  of  hostilities,  should  be  established  in  rear  of 
a  line  of  defence,  and  in  front  of  the  point  on  which  the  troops  would 
concentrate  to  receive  an  attack.  The  General  commanding-in-chief 
assigns  the  limits  of  their  cantonments  to  tfTe  divisions,  the  comman- 
ders of  divisions  to, brigades,  and  the  commanders  of  brigades  post 
their  regiments.  ^  '/he  position  for  each  corps  in  case  of  attack  is  care- 
fully pointed  out  by  the  Generals, 


HEADQUARTERS — ISSUES.  57 


HEADQUARTERS. 


542.  Generals  take  poet  at  the  centre  of  their  commands,  on  t'ie  main 
channels  of  communication.  If-  troops*  bivouac  in  presence  of  the  en- 
emy, the  Generals  bivouac  with  them. 

MILITARY   EXERCISES. 

543.  When  troops  remain,  in  camp  *or  cantonment  many  days,  the 
Colonels  require  them  to  be  exercised  in  the  school  of  the  battalion  ><nd 
squadron.  Regiments  and  brigades  encamped  by  division  are  not  uni- 
ted for  drills  without  the  permission  of  the  General  of  division.  The 
troops  must  not  be  exercised  at  the  firings  without  the  authority  of  the 
General  Commanding-in-chief- •  The  practice  of  the  drums  must  never 
begin  with  the  "general,"  or  the  "march  of  the  regiment;"  nor  the 
trumpets  with  the  sound  "to  horse."  The  hour  for  practice  is  always 
announced. 

ORDERS. 

544.  In  the  field,  verbal  orders  and  important  sealed  orders  are  car- 
ried by  officers,  and,  if  possible,  by  staff  officers.  When  orders  are 
carried  by  orderlies,  the  place  and  time  of  departure  will  be  marked  on 
them,  and  place  and  time  of  delivery  on  the  receipt. 

DISPATCHES. 

545.  Dispatches,  particularly  for  distant  corps,  should  be  entrusted 
only  to  officers  to  whom  their  contents  can  be  confided.  In  a  country 
occupied  by  the  enemy,  the  bearer  of  dispatches  should  be  accompanied 
by  at  least  two  of  the  best  mounted  men  ;  should  avoid  towns  and  vil- 
lages, and  the  main  roads  ;  rest  as  little  as  possible,  and  only  at  out-of- 
the-way  places.  Where  there  is  danger,  he  should  send  one  of  the  men 
in  advance,  and  be  always  ready  to  destroy  his  dispatches.  He  should 
be  adroit  in  answering  questions  about  the  army,  and  not  be  intimida- 
ted by  threats. 

WATCHWORDS. 

546.  The  parole  and  countersign  are  issued. daily  from  the  principal 
headquarters  of  the  command.  The  countersign  is  given  to  the  senti- 
nels and  non-com  missioned  officers  of. the  guards.;  the  parole  to  the 
commissioned  officers  of  guards.  The  parole  is  usually  the  name  of  a 
General  :  the  countersign  of  a  battle. 

547.  When  the  parole  and  countersign  cannot  be  communicated  daily 
to  a  post  or  detachment  which  ought  to  use  the  some  as  the  main  body, 
a  series  of  words  may  be  sent  for  some  days  in  advance. 

548.  If  the  countersign  is  lost,  or  one  of  the  guard  deserts  with  it, 
the  commander  on  the  spot  will  substitute  another,  and  report  the  caso 
at  once  to  the  proper  superior,  that  immediate  notice  may  be  given  to 
headquarters. 

ISSUES. 

540.  At  what  time  and  for  what  period  issues  are  made,  must  depend 
on  circumstances,  and  be  regulated  in  orders.  When  an  army  is  not 
moving,  rations  are  generally  issued  for  four  days  at  a  tjme.  Issues  to 
the  companies  of  a  regiment,  and  the  fatigues  -to  receive  them,  are  su- 


58  ROSTER. 

perintended  by  an  officer  detailed  from  the  regiment.  Issues  are  made 
from  one  end  of  the  line  to  the  other,  beginning  on  the  right  and  left 
alternately-  An  issue  commenced  on- one  regiment  will  not  be  inter- 
rupted for  another  entitled  to  precedence  if  it  had  been  in  place. 

THE    ROSTER,    OR   DETAILS    FOR   SERVICE. 

550.  The  duties  performed  4>y  detail  are  of  three  classes.  The  jtrst 
class  comprises,  1st,  grand  guards  and  outposts  ;  2d,  interior  guards,  as 
of  magazine,  hospital,  &c. ;  3d,  orderlies  ;  4th,  police  guards.   . 

The  second  class  comprises,  1st,  detachments  to  protect  laborers  on 
military  works,  as  field  works,  communications,  &c. ;  2d,  working  par- 
ties on  such  works  ;  3d,  detachments  to  protect  fatigues. 

The  third  class  are  all  fatigues,  without  arms,  in  or  out  of  camp. 

In  the  cavalry,  stable  guards  form  a  separate  roster,  and  count  before 
fatigue. 

551.  The  rosters  are  distinct  for  each  class.  Officers  are  named  on 
them  in  the  order  of  rank*  The  details  are  taken  in  succession  in  the 
order  of  the.  roster,  beginning  at  the  head. 

552.  Lieutenants  form  one  roster,  and  First  and  Second  Lieutenants 
are  entered  on  it  alternately.  The  senior  First  Lieutenant  is  the  first 
on  the  roster ;  the  senior  Second  Lieutenant  is  the  second,  &c.  The 
Captains  form  One  roster,  and  are  exempt  from  fatigues,  except  to  su- 
perintend issues.  A  captain  commanding  a  battalion  temporarily  is 
exempt  from  detail,  and  duty  falling  to  him  passes.  Lieutenant-Colo- 
nels and  •Majors  are  on  one  roster.  They  may  be  detailed  for  duties 
of  the  first  and  second  classes,  when  th,e  importance  of  the  guards  and 
detachments  requires  it.  Their  roster  is  kept  at  division  and  brigade 
headquarters.  In  the  company,  Sergeants,  Corporals,  and  privates 
form  distinct  rosters. 

553.  Officers,  no*n-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers  take  duties  of 
the  first  class  in  the  order  stated,  viz  :  the  first  for  the  detail,  takes  the 
grand  guards ;  the  next,  the  interior  guards  ;  the  last,  the  police  guards  ; 
and  the  same  rule  in  regard  to  the  details  and  duties  of  the  second 
class.  In  the  details  for  the  third  class,  the  senior  officer  takes  the 
largest  party.     The  party  first  for  detail  takes  the  service  out  of  camp. 

554.  When  the  officer  whose  tour  it  is,  is  not  able  to  take  it,  or  is  not 
present  at  the  hour  of  marching,  the  next  after  him  takes  it.  When  a 
guard  has  passed  the  chain  of  sentinels,  or  an  interior  guard  has  reached 
its  post,  the  officer  whose  tour  it  was  tfannot  then  take  it.  He  takes  the 
tour  of  the  officer  who  has  taken  his.  When  an  officer  is  prevented  by 
sickness  from  taking  his  tour,  it  passes.  These  rules  apply  equally  to 
non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers. 

555.  Duties  of  the  first  and  second  classes  are  credited  on  tho  roster 
when  the  guards  or  detachments  have  passed  the  chain  of  sentinels,  or 
an  interior  guard  has  reached  its  post;  fatigue  duties  when  the  parties 
have  passed  the  chain  or  begun  the  duties  in  camp. 

556.  Every  officer,  non-commigsioned  officer,  or  soldier  on  duty  of  the 
first  class,  or  who  is  of  the  next  detail  for  such  duty,  takes,  w'lien  re- 
lieve^ the  duty  of  the  second  or  third  class  that  has  fallen  to  him  du- 
ring that  time,  unless  he  has  marched  for  detachment  of  more  than 
twenty-four  hours. 

557.  Soldiers  march  with  knapsacks  on  all  duties  of  the  first  class ; 


TOLICE    GUAM).  59 

and  with  arras  and  equipments  complete  on  all  working  parties  out  of 
the  camp,  unless  otherwise  ordered.  In  the  cavalry,  horses  are  packed 
for  all  mounted  service. 

558.  In  the  cavalry,  dismounted  men,  and  those  whose  horses  are  not 
in  order,  are  preferred  for  the  detail  for  dismounted  service.  Those 
who  are  mounted  are  never  employed  on  those  services,  if  the  number 
uf  the  other  class  are  sufficient. 

559.  Every  non  commissioned  officer  and  soldier  in  the  cavalry  de- 
tailed for  dismounted  service  must,  before  he  marches;  take  to  the  First 
Sergeant  of  the  troop,  or  Sergeant  of  his  squad,  his  horse  equipments 
and  his  valise  ready  packed.  In  case  of  alarm,  the  First  Sergeant  sees 
that  the  horses  of  these  men  are  equipped  and  led  to  the  rendezvous. 

560.  These  rules  in  regard  to  the  roster  apply  also  to  service  in  gar- 
rison. 

POLICE   GUARD. 

561.  In  each  regiment  a  police  guard  is  detailed  every  day,  consist- 
ing of  two  Sergeants,  three  Corporals,  two  drummers,  and  men  enough 
to  furnish  the  required  sentinels  and  patrols.  The  men  are  taken  from 
all  the  companies,  from  each  in  proportion  to  its  strength.  The  guard 
is  commanded  by  a  Lieutenant,  under  the  supervision  of  a  Captain,  as 
regimental  officer  Of  the  day.  It  furnishes  ten  sentinels  at  the  camp  ; 
one  over  the  arms  of  the  guard  ;  one  at  the  Colonel's  tent ;  three  on 
the  color  front — one  of  them  over  the  colors;  three,  fifty  paces  in  rear 
of  the  field  officers'  tents.;  and  one  on  each  frank,  between  it  and  the 
next  regiment.  If  it  is  a  flank  regiment,  one  more  sentinel  is  posted  on 
the  outer  flank. 

562.  An  advanced  post  is  detached  from  the  police  guard,  composed 
of  a  Sergeant,  a  Corporal,  a  drummer,  and  nine  men  to  furnish  senti- 
nels and  the  guard  over  the  prisoners.  The  men  are  first  of  the  guard 
roster  from  each  company.  The  men  of  the  advanced  post  must  not 
leave  it  under  any  pretext.  Their  meals  are  sent  to  the  post.  The  ad- 
vanced post  furnishes  three  sentinels;  two  a  few  paces  in  front  of  the 
post,  opposite  the  right  and  left  wing  of  the  regiment,  posted  so  as  to 
see  as  far  as  possible  to  the  front,  and  one  over  the  arms. 

563.  In  the  cavalry,  dismounted  men  are  employed  in  preference  on 
the  police  guard.  The  mounted  men  on  guard  are  sent  in  succession, 
a  part  at  a  time,  to  groom  their  horses.  The  advanced  post  is. always 
formed  of  mounted  men. 

564-  In  each  cornjian}',  a  Corporal  has  charge  of  the  stable-guard. 
His  tour  begins  at  retreat,  and  ends  at  morning  sta"ble-call.  The  stable- 
guard  is  large  enough  to  relieve  the  men  on  post  every  two  hours.  They 
sleep  in  their  tents,  and  are  called  by  the  Corporal  when  wanted.  At 
retreat  he  closes  the  streets  of  the  camp  with  cords,  or  uses  other  pre- 
cautions to  prevent  the  escape  of  loose  horses.  •  . 

565.  The  officer  of  the  day  is  charged  with  the  order  and  cleanliness 
of  the  camp  ;  a  fatigue  is  furnished  to  him  when  the  number  of  pris- 
oners is  insufficient  to  clean  the  camp;  He  has  the  calls  beaten  by  the 
drummer  of  the  guard. 

566.  The  police  guard  and  the  advanced  post  pay  the  same  honors  as 
other  guards.     They%take  arms  when  an  armed  body  approaches. 

567.  The  sentinel  over  the  colors  has  orders  not  to  permit  them  to 


60  POLICE     GUARD. 

be  moved,  except  in  presence  of  an  escort ;  to  let  no  one  touch  them 
but  the  color-bearer,  or  the  Sergeant  of  the  police  guard  when  he  ie 
accompanied  by  two  armed  men. 

568.  The  sentinels  on  the  color  front  permit  no  soldier  to  take  arms 
from  the  stacks,  except  by  order  of  some  officer,  or  a  non-commissioned 
officer  of  the  guard.  The  sentinel  .at  the  Colonel's  tent  has  orders  to 
warn  him,  day  or  night,  ot  any  unusual  movement  in  or  about  the  camp. 

569.  The  sentinels  on  the  front,  flanks,  and  rear,  see  that  no  soldier 
leaves  camp  with  horse  or  arms,  unless  conducted  by  a  non-commis- 
sioned officer.  They  prevent  non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers 
from  passing  out  at  night,  except  to  go  to  the  sinks,  and  mark  if  they 
return.  They  arrest,  at  any  time,  suspicious  persons  prowling  about  the 
camp;  and  at  ni^ht,  every  one  who  attempts  to  enter,  even  the  soldiers 
of  other  corps.  Arrested  persons  are  sent  to  the  officer  of*  the  guard, 
who  sends  them,  if  necessary,  to  the  officer  of  the  day. 

570.  The  sentinels  on  the  front  of  the  advanced  post  have  orders  to 
permit  neither  non-commissioned  officers  or  soldiers  to  pass  the  line, 
without  reporting  at  the  advanced  post  ;  to  warn  the  advanced  post  of 
the  ap]. roach  of  any  armed  body,  and  to  arrest  all  suspicious  persons. 
The  Sergeant  sends  persons  so  arrested  to  the  officer  of  the  guard,  and 
warns  him  of  the  approach  of  any  armed  body: 

571.  The  sentinel  over  the  arms  at  the  advanced  post  guards  the 
prisoners  and  keeps  sight  of  them,  and  suffers  no  one  to  converse  with 
them  without  permission.  They  arc  only  permitted  to  go  to  the  sinks 
one  at  a  time,  and  under  a  sentinel. 

572.  If  any  one  is  to  be  passed  out  of  camp  at  night,  the  officer  of  the 
guard  sends  him  under  escort  to  the  advanced  post,  and  the  Sergeant 
of  the  post  has  him  passed  over  the  chain. 

573.-  At  retreat,  the  officer  of  the  guard  has  the  roll  of  his  guard 
called,  and  inspect  arms,  to  see  that  they  are  loaded  and  in  order  ;  and 
visits  tie  advanced  post  for  the  same  purpose.  The  Sergeant  of  the 
police  guard,  accompanied  by  two  armed  soldiers,  folds  the  colors  and 
lays  them  on  the  trestle  in  the  rear  of  the  arms.  He  sees  that  the  sut- 
ler's stores  are  closed,  and-the  men  leave  them,  and  that  the  kitchen 
fires  are  put  out  at  the  appointed  hour. 

574.  Toe  officer  of  the  day  satisfies  himself  frequently  during  the 
night  of  the  vigilance  of  the  police  guard  and  advanced  post.  He 
prescribes  patrols  and  rounds  to  be  made  by  the  officer  and  non-com- 
missioned officers  of  the  guard.  The  officer  of  the  guard  orders  them 
when  he  thinks  necessary.     He  visits  the  sentinels  frequently. 

575.  At  reveille,  the  police  guard  takes  arms  :  the  officer  of  the  guard 
inspects  it  and  the  advanced  post.  The  Sergeant  re-plants  the  colors  in 
place.  At  retreat  and  reveille  the  advanced  post  takes  arms  ;  the 
Sergeant  majses  his  report  to  the  officer  of  the  guard  when  he  visits  the 
post. 

576.  When  necessary,  the  camp  is  covered  at  night  with  Fmall  out- 
posts, forming  a  double  chain  of  sentinels.  These  posts  arc  under  the 
orders  of  the  commander  of  the  police  guard,  and  are  visited  by  his  pat- 
rols and  rounds. 

577.  The  officer  of  the.guard  makes  his  report  of  his  tour  of  service, 
iucludiog  the  advanced  post,  and  sends  it,  after  the  guard  is  marched 
off,  to  the  officer  cf  the 'day. 


POLICE    (iUARD.  61 

578.  When  the  regiment  marches,  the  men  of  the  police  guard  return 
to  their  companies,  except  those  of  the  advanced  post.  In  the  cavalry, 
at  the  sound  "  hoot  and  saddle/'  the  officer  of  the  guard  sends  one-half 
the  men  to  saddle  and  pack  ;  when  the  regiment  assembles,  all  the  men 
join  it. 

579.  When  the  camping  party  precedes  the  regiment,  and  the  rrew 
police  guard  marches  with  the  mmping  party,  the  guard,  on  reaching 
the  camp,  forms  in  line  thirty  paces  in  front  ef  the  centre  of  the  ground 
marked  for  the  regiment.  The  officer  of  the  guard  furnishes  the  senti- 
nels required  by  the -commander  of -the  camping  party. 

The  advanced  post  takes  its  station. 

580.  The  advanced  goat  of  the  old  police  guard  takes  charge  of  the 
prisoners  on  the  march,  and  marches,  bayonets  fixed,  at  the  centre  of 
the  regiment.  On  reaching  the  camp,  it  turns  over  tho  prisoners  to  the 
new  advanced  post. 

581.  The  detail  for  the  picket  is  made  daily,  after  the  details  for  duty 
of  first  class,  and  from  the  next  for  detail  on  the  roster  of  that  class. 
It  is  designed  to  furnish  detachments  and  guards  unexpectedly  called 
for  in  the  twenty-four  hours:  it  counts  as  a  tour  of  the  first  class  to 
those  who  have  marched  on  -detachment  or  guard,  or  who  have  passed 
the  night  in  bivouac. 

The  officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers  of  thepicket 
are  at  all  times  dressed  and  equipped  ;  the  horses  are  saddled,  and 
knapsacks  and  valises  ready  to  be  put  on. 

583.  Detachments  and  guards  from  the  picket  are  taken  from  tho 
head  of  the  picket  roll  in  each  company,  and,  if  possible,  equally  from 
each  company.  The  picket  of  a  regiment  is  composed  of  a  Lieutenant, 
two  Sergeants,  four  Corporals,  a  drummer,  and  about  forty  privates. 
For  a  smaller  force,  the  picket  is  in  proportion  to  the  strength  of  tho 
detachment. 

58  1.  Officers  and  men  of  the  picket  who  march  on  detachment  or 
guard  before  retreat,  will  be  replaced. 

585.  The  picket  is  assembled  by  tho  Adjutant  at  guard-mounting  ;  it 
is  posted  twelve  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  guard,  and  is  inspected  by  its 
own  commander.  When  the  guard  has  marched  in  review,  the  com- 
mandant of  the  picket  marches  it  to  the  left  of  the  police  guard,  where 
it  stacks  its  arms,  and  is  dismissed;  the  arms  are  under  charge  of  the 
sentinel  of  the  police  guard. 

586.  The  picket  is  only  assembled  by  the  orders  of  the  Colonel  or  of- 
ficer of  the  day..    It  forms  on  the  left  of  the  police  guard. 

587.  The  officer  of  the  day  requires  the  roll  of  the  picket  to  be  called 
frequently  during  th,£  day  ;  the  call  is  sounded  from  the  police  guard. 
At  roll-calls  and  inspections,  infantry  pickets  assemble  with  knapsacks 
on;  cavalry  on  foot.  Tho  picket  is  assembled  at  retreat;  the  officer 
has  the»roll  called,  and  inspects  the  arms.  The  pickets  sleep  in  their 
tents,  but  without  undressing. 

588.  The  picket  does  not  assemble,  at  night  except  in  cases  of  alarm, 
or  when  the  whole  or  a  part  is  to  march  ;  then  the  officer  of  the  day 
calls  the  officers,  the  latter  the  non-commissioned  officers,  and  these 
the  men,  for  which  purpose  each  ascertains  the  tents  of  those  he  is  to 
call ;  they  are  assembled  without  beat  -of  drum  or  other  noise.  At 
night,  cavalry  pickets  assemble  mounted.

589.  Pickets  rejoin  their  companies  whenever  the  regiment  is  under 
arms  for  review,  drill,  march,  or  battle. 

GRAND   GUARDS   AND   OTHER   OUTPOSTS, 

590.  Grand  guards  are  the  advanced  posts  of  a  camp  or  cantonment, 
and  should  cover  the  approaches  to  it.  Their  number,  strength  and 
position  are  regulated  by  .the  eommanders  of  brigades ;  in  detached 
corps,  by  the  commanding  officer.  When  it  can  be,  the  grand  guards 
of  cavalry  and  inlantry  are  combined,  the  cavalry  furnishing  the  ad- 
vanced sentinels.  When  the  cavalry  is  weak,  the  grand  guards  are  in- 
fantry, but  furnished  with  a  few  cavalry  soldiers,  to  get  and  carry  in- 
telligence of  the  enemy. 

591.  The  strength  of  a  grand  guard  of  a  brigade  will  depend  on  its 
object  and  the  strength  of  the  regiments,  the  nature  of  the  country,  the 
position  of  the  enemy,  and  the  disposition  of  the  inhabitants.  It  is 
u8ually*commanded  by  a  Captain. 

592.  Under  the  supervisions  of  the  Generals  of  Division  and  Brigade, 
the  grand  guards  are  specially  under  the  direction  of  a  field  officer  of 
the  day  in  each  brigade.  In  case  of  necessity,  Captains  may  be  added 
to  the  roster  of  Lieutenant-Colonels  and  Majors  for  this  detail. 

593.  Staff  officers  sent  from  division  headquarters  to  inspect  the  posts 
of  grand  guards,  give  them  orders  only  in  urgent  cases,  and  in  the  ab- 
sence of  the-field  officer  of  the  da^  of  the  brigade. 

594.  Grand  guards  usually  mount  at  the  ^ame  time  as  the  other 
guards,  but  may  mount  before  daybreak  if  the  General  of  Brigade 
thinks  it  necessary,  to  double  the  outposts  at  that  time.  In  this  case 
they  assemble  and  march  without  noise,  and  during  their  march  throw 
out  scouts;  this  precaution  should  always  be  taken  in  the  first  posting 
of  a  grand  guard.  The  doubling  of  guards  weakens  the  corps  and 
fatigues  the  men,  and  should  seldom  be  resorted  to,  and  never  when 
preparing  to  march  or  fight. 

595.  A  grand  guard  is  conducted  to  its  post,  in  the  first  instance,  by 
the  field  officer  of  the*day,  guided  by  a  stall*  officer  who  accompanied 
the  General  in  his  reconnoissance.  After  the  post  has  been  established, 
the  commander  sends  to  the  field  officer  of  the  day,  when  necessary,  a 
soldier  of  the  guard  to  guide  the  relieving  guard  to  the  post.  lie  also 
sends  to  him  in  the  evening  a  Corporal  or  trusty  man  otf  the  guard. for 
the  note  containing  the  parole  and  countersign,  and  sends  them  before 
dark  to  the  detached  posts.  He  will  not  suffer  his  guard  to  be  relieved 
except  by  a  guard  of  the  brigade,  or  by  special  orders. 

596.  If  there  is  no  pass  to  be  observed  or  defended,  the  grand  guards 
are  placed  near  the  centre  of  the  ground  they  are  to  observe,  on  shel- 
tered, and,  if  possible,  high  ground,  the  better  to  conceal  their  strength 
and  observe  the  enemy  ;  they  ought  not  to  be  placed  near  the  edge  of  a 
wood.  When,  during  the  day,  they  are  placed  very  near  or  in  sight  of 
the  enemy,  they  fall  back  at  night  on  posts  selected  farther  to  th#rear. 

597.  In  broken  or  in  mountainous  countries,  and  particularly  if  the 
inhabitants  are  ill-disposed,  intermediate  posts  must  be  established 
when  it  is  necessary  to  post  the  grand  guard  distant  from  the  camp. 

598.  Grand  guards  -are  chiefly  to  watch  the  enemy  in  front;  their 
flanks  are  protected  by  each  other,  and  the  camps  must  furnish  posts  to 
protect  their  rear  and  secure  their  retreat. 


GRAND    GUARDS.  .       OH 

50'J.  Grand  guards  are  seldcm  intrenched,  and  never  without  the 
orders  ~>f  thc-Gelieral,  except  by  a"  barricade'or  ditch,  when  exposed  in 
a  plain  to  attacks  of  cavalry. 

GOO.  rJfiie  General  of  Division,  if  lie  thinks  proper,  changes  the  sta- 
tions and  orders  of  these  guards,  and  establishes  posts  to  connect  the 
brigades  or  protect  the  exterior  flanks. 

60  L.  After  a  grand  guard  is  posted,  the  first  care  of  the  commander 
and  of  the  field  officer  of  the  day,  is  to  get  news  of  the  enemy;  then  to 
reconnoitre  his  position,  and  the  roads,  bridges,  fords,  and  defiles: 
This  reconnoisanee  determines  the  force  and  position  of  the  small  posts 
and  their  sentinejs  day  and  night.  These  posts,  according  to  their  im- 
portance, arc  commanded  by  officers  or  non-commissioned  officers  ;  the 
cavalry  posts  may  be  relieved  every  four  or  eight  hours. 

602.  The  commander  of  a  grand  guard  receives  detaile  1  instructions 
from  the  General  and  field  officer  of  the  day  of  the  brigade,  and  in- 
structs the  commanders  of  the  small  posts  as  to  their  duties  and  the  ar- 
rangements for  the  defence  or  retreat.  The  commanders  of  grand 
guards  may,  in  urgent  cases,  change  the  positions  of  the  small  posts. 
If  the  small  posts  are  to  change  their  positions  at  night,  they  wait  until 
the  grand  guard  have  got  into  position,  and  darknesa  bides  their  move- 
ments from  the  enemy 4  then  march  silently  and  rapidly  under  the 
charge  of  an  officer. 

603.  In  detached  corps,  small  posts  of  pieked  men  are  at  night  sent 
forward  on  the  roads  by  which  the  enemy  may  attack  or  turn  the  posi- 
tion. They  watch  the  forks  of  the  roads,  keep  silence,  conceal  them- 
selves, light  no  fires,  and  often  change  place.  They  announce  the  ap- 
proach of  the  enemy  by  signals  agree!  upon,  and  retreat  by  routes  ex- 
amined during  the  day,  to  places  selected,  and  rejoin  the  guard  at  day- 
break. 

.  604.  Grand  guards  have  special  orders  in  each  case,  and  the  follow- 
ing in  all  cases:  to  inform  the  nearest  posts  and  the  field  officer  of  the 
day,  or  the  General  of  Brigade,  of  the  march  and  movements  of  the 
enemy,  and  of  the  attacks  they  receive  or  fear;  to  examine  every  per- 
son passing  near  the  post,  particularly  those  coming  from  without;  to 
arrest  suspicious  persons,  and  all  soldiers  and  camp-followers  who  try 
to  pass  out  without  permission,  and  to  send  to  the  General,  unless  other- 
wise directed,  all  country  people  who  come  in. 

605.  All  out  guards  stand  to  arms  at  night  on  the  approach  of  pat- 
rols, rounds,  or  other  parties;  the  sentinel  over  the  arms  has  orders  to 
call  them  out. 

606.  Advanced  posts  will  not  take  arms  for  inspection  or  ceremony 
when  it  would  expose  them  to  the  view  of  the  enemy. 

607.  Grand  guards  are  often  charged  with  the  care  and  working  of 
telegraphic  signals.  c 

603.  The  sentinels  and  videttes  are  placed  oh  points  from  which  they 
can  sea  farthest,  taking  care  not  to  break  their  connection'  with  each 
other  or  with  their  posts.  They  are  concealed  from  the  enemy  as  much 
as  possible  by  walls,  or  tvees,  or  elevated  ground.  It  is  generally  even 
of  more  advantage  not  to  be  seen  than  to  see  far.  They  should  not  be 
placed  joear  covers,  where  the  enemy  may  capture  them. 

609.  A  sentinel  should  always  be  ready  to  fire,  videttes  carry  their 
pistols  or  carbines   in  their  hands.     A  sentinel  must  be  sure  of  the 


64  GRAND    GUARDS. 

presence  of  an  enemy  before  he  fires;  once  satisfied  of  that, .he  must 
tire,  though  all  defence  nn  his  part  be  useless,  as  the  safety  of  the  post 
mny  depend  on  it.  Sentinels  fire  o'n'all  persons  deserliing  to  the  enemy. 
GIG.  If  the  post  must  be  where  a  sentinel  on  it  can  not  communicate 
with  the  guard,  a  corporal  and  three  men  are  detached  for  it,  or  the 
sentinels  are  doubled,  that  one  may  communicate  with  the  guard. 
During  the  day  the  communication  may  be  made  by  signals,  such  as 
raising  a  cap  or  handkerchief.  At  night  sentinels  are  placed  on  low 
ground,  the  better  to  see  objects  against  the  sky.  • 

611.  To  lessen  the  4uty  °f  rounds,  and  keep  more  men  on  the  alert 
at  night,  sentinels  are  relieved  every  hour.  To  prevent  sentinels  from 
being  surprised,  it  is  sometimes  well  to  precede  the  countersign  by  sig- 
nals, such  as  striking  the  musket  wjth  the  hand,  striking  the  hands  to- 
gether,  &c. 

612.  On  the  ppproacb  of  any  one  at  night,  the  sentinel  orders. — 
"  Halt!  "  If  the  order  is  not  obeyed  after  once  repeated,  fie  fires.*  If 
obeyed,  he  calls — "  Who  goes  there?"  If  answered — "  Rounds"  -or 
"  Patrol,"  he  says — "Advance  with  the  'countersign"  If  more-  than  one 
advance  at  the  same  time,  or  the  person  who  advances  fails  to  give  tho 
countersign  or  signal  agreed  on,  the  sentinel  fires,  and 'falls  back  on  his 
guard.  The  sentinel  over  the  arms,  as  soon  as  his  hail  is  answered, 
turns  out  the  guard,  and  the  corporal  goes  to  reconnoitre.  When  it,  is 
desirable  to  hide  the  position  of  the  sentinel  from  the  enemy,  the  hail 
is  replaced  by  signals  ;  the  sentinel  gives  the  signal,  and  those  approach- 
ing the  counter  signal. 

613.  With  raw  troops,  or  when  the  light  troops  of  the  enemy  are  nu- 
merous or  active,  and  when  the  country  is  broken  or  wooded,  the  fiight 
stormy  or  dark,  sentinels  should  be  doubled.  In  this  case,  while  one 
watches,  the  other,  called  a  flying  sentinel,  moves  about,  examining  the 
paths  and  hollows. 

614.  The  commandants  of  grand  guards  visit  the  sentinels  often  ; 
change  their  positions  when  necessarv  ;  make  them  repeat  their  orders; 
teach  them  under  what  circumstances  and  at  what  signals  to  retire,  and 
particularly  not  to  fall  back  directly  on  their  guard  if  pursued,  but  to 
lead  the  enemy  in  a  circuit. 

615.  At  night,  half  the  men  of  the  grand  guard  off  post  watch  under 
arms,  while  the  rest  lie  down,  arms  by  their  side.  The  horses  are  al- 
ways brid  I  ej  ;  the  horsemen  hold  the  reins,  and  must  not  sleep. 

6F6.  When  a  grand  guard  of  cavalry  is  so  placed  as  not  to-be  liable 
to  a  sudden  attack  from  the  enemy,  the  General  may  permit  the  horses 
to  be  fed  during  the  night,  unbridling  for  this. purpose  a  few  at  a  time 
—the  horsemen  being  vigilant  to  prevent  them  from  escaping. 

617.  An  hour  before  break  of  day,  infantry  grand  guards  stand  to 
arms,  and  cavalry  mount.  At  the  advanced  posts,  some  of  the  infantry 
are  all  night  wider  arms,  some  of  the  cavalry  on  horseback. 

CIS.  The  commander  of  a  grand  guard  regulates  the  numbers,  the 
Ijours,  and  the  march  of  patrols  and  rounds,  according  to  the.  strength 
of  his  troop  and  the  necessity  fur  precaution;  and,  accompanied  by 
those  who  are  to  command  the  patrols  and  rounds  during  the  night,  he 
will  reconnoitre  all  the  route  they  are.  to  follow. 

619.  Patrols  and  rounds  march  slowly,  in  silence,  and  with  great 
precaution  ;  halt  frequently  to  listen,  and  examine  the'  ground.     The 


tiRAND    ROUNDS.  65 

rounds  consist  of  an  officer  or  non-commissioned  officer,  and  two  or  three 
men. 

620*  Toward  the  break  of  day  the  patrols  ought  to  be  more  frequent, 
and  sent  to  greater  distances.  They  examine  the  hollow-ways,  and 
ground  likely  to  conceal  an  enemy,  but  with  great  caution,  to  avoid  be- 
ing cut  off,  or  engaged  in  an  unequal  combat ;  if  they  meet  the  enemy, 
they  fire  and  attempt  to  stop  his  march.  While  the  patrols  are  out  the 
prists  are  under  arms* 

021.  Cavalry  patrols  should  examine  the  country  to  a  greater  distance 
than  infantry,  and  report  to  the  infantry  guard  every  thing  they  observe. 
The  morning  patrols  and  scouts  do  not  return  until  broad  daylight; 
and  when  they  return,  the  night  sentinels  are  withdtawn,  and  the  posts 
for  the  day  resumed. 

G22.  When  patrols  are  sent  beyond  the  advanced  post?,  the  posts  and 
sentinels  should  be  warned. 

023.  On  their  return,  commanders  of  patrols  report  in  regard  to  the 
ground  and  every  thing  they  have  observed  of  the  movements  of  tho 
enemy,  or  of  his  posts,  and  the  commandant  of  the  grand  guard  reports 
to  the  field  officer  of  the  day. 

024.  The  fires  of  the  grand  guards  should  he  hidden  by  a  wall  or 
ditch,  or  other  screen.  To  deceive  the  entmy,  fires  are  sometimes  made 
on  ground  not  occupied.  Fires  are  not  permitted  at  small  posts  liable 
to  surprise. 

02.3.  The  horses  of  cavalry  guards  are  watered  or  fed  by  detachments  ; 
during  which  the  rest  are  ready  to  mount. 

020.  If  a  body  of  troops  attempt  to  enter  the  camp  at  night,  unless 
their  arrival  has  been  announced,  or  the  commander  is  known  to,  or  is 
the  bearer  of  a  written  order  to  the  commander  of  the  grand  guards, 
he  stops  them,  and  sends  the  commander  under  escort  to  the  field  officer 
of  the  d;iy,  and  warns  the  post  near  him. 

027.  Be;irers  of  flags  are  not  permitted  to  pass  the  outer  chain  of  sen- 
tinels ;  their  faces  are  turned  from  the  j>ost  of  army  ;  if  necessary  their 
eyes  are  bandaged;  a  non  commissioned  officer  stays  with  them  to  pre- 
vent indiscretion  of  the  sentinels. 

028.  The  commandant  of  thegrahd  guard  receipts  for  dispatches,  and 
sends  them  to  the  field  officer  of  the  day  or  General  of  Brigade,  and  dis- 
misses the  bearer ;  but  if  he  has  discovered  what  ought  to  be  concealed 
from  the  enemy,  he  is  detained  as  long  as  necessary. 

020.  Deserters  are  disarmed  at  fhe  advanced  posts,  ana  sent  to  the 
commander  of  the  grand  guard,  who  gets  from  them  all  the  information 
he  can  concerning  his  post.  If  many  come  at  night  they  are  received 
cautiously,  a  few  at  a  time.  They  are  sent  in  the  morning  to  the  field 
officer  of  the  day,  or  to  the  nearest  post  or  camp,  to  be  conducted  to  the 
General  of  the  hrigade.  All  suspected  persons  are  searched  by  com- 
manders of  the  posts. 

030.  When  an  enemy  advances  to  an  attack,  unless  he  is  in  too*:reafc 
force,  or  the  grand  guard  is  to  defend  an  intrenched  post  or  a  defile,  it 
will  take  position,  and  execute  the  movements  to  check  the  enemy,  act- 
ing as  skirmishers,  or  fighting  in  close  or  open  order,  as  may  be  best. 
The  guard  joins  its  corps  when  in  line,  or' when  a  sufficient  number  of 
troops  have  reached  the  ground  it  defends. 


66  ENTRENCHED  POSTS — DETACHMENTS. 

ENTRENCHED    POSTS. 

631.  Unless  the  army  be  acting  on  the  defensive,  no  post  should  be 
intrenched,  except  to  cover  the  weak  parts  of  the  line,  or  at  points 
•which  the  enemy  cannot  avoid,  or  in  mountain  warfare,  or  to  the  close 
of  a  defile,  or  to  cover  winter  quarters, 

632.  Posts  connected  with  the  operation's  of  an  army  are  intrenched 
only  by  order  of  the  General  commanding-in-chief  or  a  General  of  Di- 
•vision. 

633.  Any  intrenchment  that  requires  artillery,  is  considered  as  a  post, 
and  a  guard  or  garrison  and  commander  are  assigned  to  it. 

634.  The  General  who  establishes  an  intrenched  post  gives  to  its  com- 
mander detailed  instructions  in  regard  to  its  defence,  and  the  circum- 
stances under  which  the  defence  should  cease. 

635.  The  commander  reconnoiters  his  post;  distributes  the  troops; 
posts  the  officers  and  non-commissioned  officers ;  forms  a  reserve  ;  gives 
orders  for  all  contingencies  he  can  foresee;  -supposes  an  attack,  and  ar- 
ranges his  troops  for  defence,  so  as  to  prepare  them  for  an  attack,  day  or 
night.  '  . 

636.  In  dark  weather  he  redoubles  his  vigilance,  and  changes  the 
hours  and  direction  of  the  rounds  and  parols.  He  permits  no  flags  of 
truce,  deserters  or  strangerslto  enter.  If  a  flag  ought  to  pass  his  post, 
he  bandages  his  eyes.  He  refuses  admittance  to  a  relief  or  any  other 
party  until  he  has  carejfuUy  examined  them.  In  case  of  an  attack,  he 
does  not  wait  for  orders  or  hold  a  council.  Having  defended  his  post 
to  the  last  extremity,  or  till  the  purpose  of  the  defence,  according  to  his 
instructions,  is  answered,  he  may  then  spike  his  guns  and  rejoin  the 
army  under  cover  of  night,  or  by  cutting  his  way  through  the  enemy. 

DETACHMENTS. 

637.  W1ien  a  detachment  is  to  be  formed  from  the  different  regiments 
of  a  brigade,  the  Assistant  Adjutant-General  of  the  brigade  assembles 
it,  and  turns  it  Over  to  the  commander. 

638.  When  a  detachment  is  to  be  formed  from  different  brigades,  the 
Assistant  Adjutant-General  in  each,  forms  the  contingerrt*of  the  brigade, 
and  sends  it  to  the  place  of  assembling. 

639.  Detachments  are  generally  formed  by  taking  battalions,  squad- 
rons, companies,  platoons  in  turn,  according  to  the  roster  for  such 
detail.  #  p 

640.  When  the  detachment  is  to  consist  of  men  from  every  company 
or  troop,  the  first  on  the  roster  for  guard  are  taken. 

641.  Officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers,  whose  tour  it  is 
to  go  on  detachment,  if  employed  otherwise  at  the  time,  are  relieved 
from  the  duty  they  are 'on,  if  they  can  reach  the  camp  in  time  to  mtfrch 
with  the  detachment. 

642.  When  detachments  meet,  the  commandos  regulated  while  the^ 
serva  together  as  if  the;y  formed  one  detachment.  But  tl«e  senior  officers 
cannot  prevent  the  commander  of  any  detachment  from  moving,  when 
he  thinks  proper,  to  execute  the  orders  he  has  received. 

643.  On  the  return  of  a  detachment,  the  commander  reports  to  the 
headquarters  from  which  he  received  his  orders. 


RECONNOISANCES— PART1SAN8     AND     FLANKERS.  67 

RECONNOISANCES. 

644.  Near  an  enemy,  daily  reconnoisances  are  made  to  observe  the 
ground  in  front,  and  to  discover  whether  the  advanced  guards  of  the 
enemy  have  been  increased  or  put  in  motion,  or  any  d(0er  sign  of  his 
preparation  for  march  or  action.  * 

645.  They  are  made  hy  small  parties  of  cavalry  and  infantry,  from 
the  brigade,  under  the  direction  of  the  General  of  Division  or  the  General 
of  a  separate  brigade,  and  to  less  distance  by  the  pastoral  of  the  grand 
guard,  and  are  not  repeated  at  the  same  hour  or  by  the  same  route.  On 
the  plain,  reconnoisances  are  made  by  cavalry  ;  among  mountains,  by 
infantry,  with  a  few  horsemen  to  carry  intelligence. 

64G.  Reconnoitering  parties  observe  the  following  precautions  :  to 
leave  small  posts,  or  sentinels  at  intervals,  to  transmit  intelligence  to 
the  advanced  posts  of  an  army,  unless  the  return  is  to  be  by  a  different 
route  ;  to  march  with  caution,  to  avoid  fighting  ;  and  see,  if  possible, 
without  being  seen  ;  to  keep  an  advanced  guard  ;  to  send  well  mounted 
men  ahead  of  trie  advanced  guard  ;  and  on  the  flank  of  the  party  ;  to 
instruct  the  scouts  that  no  two  should  enter  a  defile  or  mount  a  hill  to- 
gether, but  to  go  one  at  a  time,  whilo  one  watches  to  carry  the  news  if 
the  other  is  taken. 

647.  Fefore  daybreak  the  advanced  guar.d  aad  scouts  arc  drawn 
closer  ;  the  party  then  march  slowly  and  silently,  stop  frequently  to 
listen,  and   keep  the  horses   that  neigh  in  the  rear.     The  party  should 

'enter  no  wood,  defile,  village,  or  inclosure,  until   it  has   been  lully  ex- 
amined by  the  scouts. 

648.  Special  reconnoisances  are  mndo  under  the  instruction  of  the 
General  in  command,  by  such  officers  and  with  such  force  r.s  he  may 
direct. 

649.  Offensive  or  forced  reconnoisances  are  to  ascertain  with  certainty 
points  in  the  enemy's  position,  or  his  strength.  They  are  sometimes 
preludes  to  real  actions,  and  sometimes  only  demonstrations.  They 
drive  in  his  outposts,  and  sometimes  engage  special  fprps  of  his  line. 
They  are  only  made  by  order  of  the  General  commanding-in-chief,  or 
the  commander  of  an  isolated  corps. 

650.  In  all  reports  of  reconnoisances,  the  officer  making  them  shall 
distinguish  expressly  what  he  lias  seen  from  the  accounts  he  has  not 
baen  able  to  verify  personalU'. 

G51.  In  special  and  offensive  reconnoisances,  the  report  must  be  ac- 
companied by  a  field-sketch  of  the  localities,  the  dispositions  and  defen- 
ces oT  the  enemy. 

PARTISANS    AND     FLANKERS. 

652.  The  operations  of  partisan  corps  depend  on  the  nature  and 
theatre  of  the  war  :  they  enter  into  the  general  plan  of  operations,  and 
are  conducted  under  the  orders  of  the  General  eominanding-in-chief. 

653.  The  composition  and  strength  of  partisan  corps  and  detachment 
of  flankers  depend  on  the  object,  the  difficulties,  the  distance,  and  the 
probable  time  oi   the  expedition. 

654.  The  purpose  of  these  isolated  corps  is  to  reconnoitre  at  a  dis- 
tance on  the  flanks  of  the  army,  t  >  protect  its  operations,  to  deceive  the 
enemy,  to  interrupt  his  communications,  to  intercept  his  couriers  and 
his  correspondence,  to   threaten  or  destroy   his  hiagnrincs,  to  cany  off 


68  MABCHES. 

his  posts  and  his  convoys,  or,  at  all  events,  to  retard  his  march  by 
making  him  detach  largely  for  their, protection.  n 

055.  Whil^hhese  corps  fatigue  the  enemy  and  embarrass  his  opera- 
tions, they  enaeavor  to  inspire  confidence  and  secure  the  good  will  of 
the  inhabitants  in  a  friendly  country,  and  to  hold  them  in  check  in  an 
enemy's  country. 

656.  They  move  actively,  appear  unexpectedly  on  different  points,  in 
such  a  nianrfer  as  to  make  it  impossible  to  estimate  their  force,  or  to 
tell  whether  they  are  irregular  forces  or  an  advanced  guard. 

657.  These  operations  require  vigilance,  secresy,  energy,  and  prompt* 
ness.  The  partisan  commander  must  frequently  supply  by  stratagem 
and  audacity  what  he  wants  in  numbers. 

658.  These  detachments  are  sometimes  composed  of  different  arms, 
but  the  service  bejongs  more  particularly. to  the  light  cavalry,  which 
can  move  to  a  distance  by  rapid  marches,  surprise  the  enemy,  attack 
unexpectedly,  and  retire  as  promptly. 

659.  Stormy  weather,  fogs,  extreme  heat,  and  the  night  above  all, 
are  favorable  to  the  success  of  ambuscades:  when  the  enemy  are  care- 
less, the  break  of  day  is  the  best  time.  A  partisan  commander.should 
communicate  to  his  second  in  command,  his  secret  orders,  the  direction 
and  object  of  the  expedition,  and  the  different  points  of  junction  with 
the  army. 

660.  Guiles  of  the  country  arid  spies  are  often  neeessary  to  the  parti-' 
sah.     They  are  examined  separately,  and  confronted  if  their  accounts 
differ.     When   there  is  but  one  guide,  he  marches  with  the  advanced 
guard,  guarded  by  two  men,  and  bound   if  necessary.     Peddlers  and 
smugglers  are  specially  suitable  for  spies. 

661.  A  fit  time  to  attack  a  convoy  is  at  a  halt,  or  when  they  begin  to 
park,  or  when  they  are  watering,  passing  a  wood  or  a  defile;  at  a  bend 
of  the  road,  a  bridge  or  steep  ascent. 

662.  The  attacking  party  may  be  principally  cavalry,  with  some  in- 
fantry. The  first  object  is  to  disperse  the  escort.  A  part  of  the  de- 
tachment attacks  the  main  body  of  the  escort,  another  the  wagons,  and 
a  third  is  in  reserve;  skirmishers  line  the  road,  and  trytocut.the 
traces,  and  to  seize  the  front  and  rear  wagons,  and  turn  them  across  the 
road,  to  prevent  the  train  from  advancing  or  retreating. 

603.  If  the  convoy  is  parked,  tl),e  cavalry  surrounds  it,  assails  the  es- 
cort, and  tries  to  draw  it  away  from  the  train.  The  infantry  then  en- 
gage the  troops  remaining  at  the  park,  slip  under  the  wagons,  and  get 
into  the  park.  When- the  cavalry  is  alone  and  the  enemy  are  shaken, 
they  dismount  a  portion  of  the  men  to  supply  the  want  of  infantry. 

664.  If  it  is  a  large  convoy,  the  principal  attack  is  made' on  the  cen- 
tre; the  most  valuable  wagons  are  alsa  selected  and  additional  horses' 
are  put  to  them  if  the  attack  is  successful  Tiio.se  that  cannot  be  car- 
ried off  are  burned. 

MARCHES. 

605.  The  object  of  the  movement  and  the  nature  of  the  ground  deter- 
mine the  order  of  march,  the.  kind  of  troops  in  each  column,  and  the 
number  of*  columns. 

006. _  The  force  is  divided  into  as  many  columns  as  circumstances  per- 
mit, without   weakening    anyone   too  niuyh.    '  Tbey  ought  to  preserve

their  communications,  and  be  within  supporting  distance  of  each  other. 

The  commander  of  eacp.  column  ought  to  know  the  strength  and  direc- 
tion iff  t lie  others. 

667.  The  advance  and  rear  guards  are  usually  light  troops  ;  their 
strength  and  composition  depend  on  the  nature  of  the  ground  and  the 
position  of  the  enemy.  They  serve  to  cover  the  movements  of  the 
'army,  and  to  hold  the  enemy  in  check  until  the  General  has  time  to 
make  his  arrangements. 

668.  The  advance  guard  is  not  always  at  the  head  of  a  column  ;  in  a 
march  to  a  flank;  it  t<ikes  such  positions  as  cover  the  movement.  Sap- 
pers are  attached  to  the  advanced  guard  if  rehired. 

669.  The  "general,"  sounded  one  hour  before  the  time  of  marching, 
is  the  signal  to  strike  tents,  to  load  the  wagons,  and  pack  horses,  and 
send  them  to  the  place  of  assembling.  The  fires  are  then  put  out,  and 
care  taken  to  avoid  burning  straw,  &c,  or  giving  to  the.  enemy  any 
other  indication  of  the  movement. 

670.  The  "  march"  will  be  beat  in  the  infantry,  and  the  "  advance" 
sounded  in  the  cavalry,  in  succession,  as  each  is  to  take  its  place  in  the 
column. 

671.  When  the  army  should  form  suddenly  to  meet  the- enemy,  the 
"'long  roll"  is  beat,  and  "to  horse"  sounded.  The  troops  form  rapidly 
in  front  of  their  camp. 

672.  Batteries  of  artillery  and  their  caissons  move  with  the  corps  to 
which  they  are  attached  ;  the  field  train  and  ambulances  march  at  the 
rear  of  the  column  ;   and  the  baggage  with  the  rear  guard. 

673.  Cavalry  and  infantry  do  not  march  togetkpr,  unless  the  prox- 
imity of  the  enemy  makes  it  necessary. 

674.  In  cavalry  marches,  when  distant  from  the  enemy,  each  regi- 
ment, and,  if  possible,  each  squadron,  forms  a  separate  column,  in  order 
to  keep  up  the  same  gait  from  front  to  rear,  andvto  trot,  when  desirable, 
on  good  ground.  In  such  cases,  the  cavairy  may  leave  camp  later,  and 
can  give  more  rest  to  the  horses,  and  more  attention  to  the  shoeing  and 
harness.     Horses  are  not  bridled  until  the  time  to  start. 

675.  When  necessary,  the  orders  specify  the  rations  the  men  are  to 
carry  in  their  haversacks.  .The  field*  officers  and  Captains  make  inspec- 
tion^ frequently  during  the  march  ;  at  halts  they  examine  the  knap- 
sacks, valises  and  haversacks,  and  throw  away  all  article*  not  author- 
ized. The  officers  and  non-eominissioned  officers  of  cavalry  companies 
attend  personally  to  the  packs  and  girths. 

676.  When  it  can  be  avoided,  troops  should  not  be  assembled  on  high 
roads  or  other  places  where  they   interrupt  the  communication. 

677.  Generals  of  Divisions  and  commanders  of  detached  corps  send  a 
staff  officer  to*  the  rendezvous  in  advance,  to  receive  the  troops,  who, 
on  arriving,  take  their  place  it\  the  order  of  battle,  and  form  in  close 
column,  unless  otherwise  ordered.  Artillery,  or  trains  halted  on  the 
roads,  form  in  file  on  one  side. 

678.  The  execution  of  marching  orders  must  not  be  delayed.  If  the 
commander  is  not  at  the  head  of  his  troops  when  they  are  to  niareto,  the 
nest  in  rank  puts  the  column  in  motion. 

679.  If  possible,  each  column  is  preceded  by  a  detachment  of  sappers, 
to  remove  obstacles  to  the  march,  aided,  when  necessary,  by  infantry, 
or  the  people  of  the  country.     Tb$  detachment  is  divided  into  two  se*c- 


70  MICHES.  "  * 

tions :  one  stops  to  remove  the  first  obstacle,  the  other  moves  on  to  the 
next. 

680.  Jn  night  marches,  and  at  bad  places,  and  at  cross-roads,  when 
necessary,  intelligent  non-commissioned  officers  are  posted  to  show  the 
way,  and  are  relieved  by  the  regiments  as  they  come  up. 

681.  On  the  march,  no  one  shall  fire  a  gun,  or  cry  "  hall"  or  "  march," 
without  orders. 

682.  Soldiers  are  not  to  stop  for  water ;  the  canteens  should  be  filled 
before  starting. 

683  It  is  better  to  avoid  villages  ;  but  if  the  route  lies  through  them, 
officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  are  to  be  vigilant  to  prevent 
straggling-     Halts  should  not  take  place  at  villages. 

684.  Besides  the  rear  guard,  the  General  sometimes  takes  a  detach- 
ment from  the  last  regiment,  and  adds  to  it  non-commissioned  officers 
from  each  regiment,  to  examine  villages  and  all  hiding-places  on  the 
route,  to  bring  up  stragglers  and  seize  marauders. 

685.  In  night  marches,  the  Sergeant- Major  of  each  regiment  remains 
at  the  rear  with  a  drummer,  to  give  notice  when  darkness  or  difficulty 
stops  the  march.  In  cavalry,  a  trumpet  is  placed  in  rear  of  each- 
squadron,  and  the  signal  repeated  to  the  head  of  the  regiment. 

686. >  The  General  and  fiald  officers  frequently  stop,  or  send  officers  to 
the  rear,  to  see  that  the  troops  march  in  the  prescribed  order,  and  keep 
their  distances.  To  quicken  the  march,  the  General  warns  the  Colo- 
nels, and  may  order  a  signal  to  be  beat.  It  is  repeated  in  all  the  regi- 
ments. • 

687.  In  approaching  a  defile,  the  Colonels  are  warned  ;  they  close 
their  regiments  as  they  come  up  ;  each  regiment  passes  separately,  at  an 
accelerated  pace,  and  in  as  close  order  as  possible.  The  leading  regi- 
ment having  passed,  and  left  room  enough  fur  the  whole  column  in 
close  order,  then  Lilts,  and  moves  again  as  soon  as  the  last  regiment  is 
through.  In  the  cavalry,  each  squadron,  before  quickening  the  pace  to 
rejoin  the  column,  takes  its  original  order  of  march. 

688.  When  the  distance' from  the  enemy  permits,  each  regiment, 
after  closing  up  in  front  and  rear  of  the  defile,  stacks  arms. 

689:  Halts  to  rest  and  re-form  the  troops  are  frequent  during  the 
day,  depending  on  the  object  and  length  of  the  march.  They  are  made 
in  preference  after  the  passage  of  defiles. 

690-  No  honors  are  paid  by  troops  on  the  march  or  at  halts. 

681.  The  sick  march  with  the  wagons. 

092.  Led  horses  of  officers,  and  the  horses  of  dismounted  men,  follow 
their  regiment.  The  baggage  wagons  never  march  in  the  column. 
When  the  General  orders  the  field  train  and  ambulances  to  take  place 
in  the  column,  he  designates  the  position  they  shall  take. 

693.  If  two  corps  meet  on  the  same  road,  they  pass  to  the  .right,  and 
both  continue  their  march,  if  the  road  is  wide  enough  ;  if  it  is  not,  the 
first  in  the  order  of  battle  takes  the  road.the  other  halts. 

691.  A  corps  in  march  must  not  be  cut  by  another.  If  two  corps 
meet  at  cross  roads,  that  which  arrives  last  halts  if  the  othin'  is  in  mo- 
tion. A  corps  in  march  passes  a  corps  at  a  halt,  if  it  has  precedence 
in  the  order  of  battle,  or  if  the  halted  corps  is  not  ready  to  move  at 
once." 

695.  A  column   that  halts  to  let   another  column  pass   resumes  the 


BATTLES.  7 1 

march  in  advance  of  the  train  of  this  column.  If  a  column  has  to  pass 
a  train,  the  train  must  halt,  if  necessary,  till  the  column  passes.  The 
column  which  has  precedence  must  yield  it  if  the  commander,  on  seeing 
the  orders  of  the  other,  finds  it  for  the  interest  of  the  service. 

BATTLES, 

696.  Dispositions  for  battle  depend  on  the  number,  kind,  and  quality 
of  the  troops  opposed,  on  the  ground,  and  oivthe  objects  of  the  war; 
but  the  following  rules  are  to  be  observed  generally: 

697.  In  attacking,  the  advanced  guard  endeavors  to  capture  tho  ene- 
my's outposts,  or  cut  them  off  from  the  main  body.  Having  done  so, 
or  driven  them  in,  it  occupies,  in  advancing,  all  the  points  that  can 
cover  or  facilitate  the  march  of  the  army  or  secure  its  retreat,  such  as 
bridges,  defiles,  woods  and  heights  ;  it  then  makes  attacks,  to  occupy 
the  enemy,  without  risking  too  much,  and  to  deceive  them  as  to  the 
march  and  projects  of  the  army. 

.  698.  When  tho  enemy  is  hidden  by  a  curtain  of  advanced  troops,  the 
commandant  of  the  advanced  guard  sends  scouts,  under  intelligent  offi- 
cers, to  the  right  and  left,  to  ascertain  his  position  and  movements.  If 
he  does  not  succeed  in  this  way,  he  tries  to  unmask  the  enemy  by  de- 
monstrations ;  threatens  to  cut  the  advance  from  the  main  body  ;  makes 
false  attacks  ;  partial  and  impetuous  •charges  in  echelon;  and  if  all 
fail,  he  makes  a  real  attack  to  accomplish  the  object. 

699.  Detachments  left  by  the  advanced  guard  to  hold  points  in  the 
rear,  rejoin  it  when  other  troops  oome  up;  If  the  army  takes  a  posi- 
tion, and  the  advanced  guard  is  separated  from  it  by  defiles  or  heights, 
the  communication  is  secured  by  troops  drawn  from  the  main  body. 

700.  At  proper  distance  from  the  enemy,  the  troops  are  formed  for 
the  attack  in  several  lines  ;  if  only  two  can  be  formed,  some  battalions 
in  column  are  placed  behind  the  wings  of  the  second  line.  The  lines 
may  be  formed  of  troops  in  column  or  in  order  of  battle,  according  to 
the  ground  and  plan  of  attack. 

701.  The  advanced  guard  may  be  put  in  the  line  or  on  the  wings,  or 
other  position,  to  aid  the  pursuit  or  cover  the  retreat. 

702.  .The  reserve  is  formed  of  the  best  troops  of  foot  and  horse,  to 
complete  a  victory  or  make  good  a  retreat.  It  is  placed  iu  the  rear  of 
the  centre,' or  chief  point  of  attack  or  defence. 

703.  The  cavalry  should  be  distributed  in  echelon  on  the  wings  and 
at  the  centre,  on  favorable  ground. 

704.  It  should  be  instructed  not  to  take  the  gallop  until  within 
charging  distance  ;  never  to  receive  a  charge  at  a  halt,  but  to  meet  it, 
or,  if  not  strong  enough,  to  retire  manoeuvring  ;  and  in  order  to  be 
ready  for  the  pursuit,  and  prepared  against  a  reverse,  or  the  attacks  of 
the  reserve,  not  to  engage  all  its  squadrons  at  once,  but  to  reserve  one 
third,  in  column  or  in  echelon,  abreast  of  or  in  the  rear  of  one  of  the 
wings;  this  arrangement  is  better  than -a  second  line  with  intervals. 

#705.  In  the  attack,  the  artillery  is  employed  to  silence  the  batteries 
that  protect  the  position.  In  the  defence,  it  is  better  to  direct  its  fire 
on  the  advancing  troops.  In  cither  case,  as  many  pieces  are  united  as 
possible,  the  fire  of  artillery  being  formidable  in  proportion  to  its  con- 
centration. 
706.  Iu  battles  and  military  operations  ife  is  better  to  assume  the

offensive,  and  put  the  enemy  on  the  defensive ;  but  to  be  safe  in  doing 
so  requires  a  larger  force  than  the  enemy,  or  better  troops,  and  favora- 
ble ground.  When  obliged  to  act  on  the  defensive,  the  advantage  of 
position  and  of  making  the  attack  may  sometimes  be  secured  by  form- 
ing in  rear  of  the  ground  on  which  we  are  to  fight,  and  advancing  at 
the  moment  of  action.  In  mountain  warfare,  the  assailant  has  always 
the  disadvantage  ;  and  even  in  offensive  warfare,  in  the  open  field,  it 
may  frequently  be  very  important,  when  the  artillery  is  well  posted, 
and  any  advantage  of  the  ground  may  be  secured,  to  await  the  enemy 
and  compel  him  to  attack. 

707.  The  attack  should  be  made  with  a  superior  force  on  the  defen- 
sive point  of  the  enemy's  position,  by  masking  this  by  false  attacks  and 
demonstrations  on  other  points,  and  by  concealing 'the  troops  intended 
for  it  by  the  ground  or  by  other  troops  in  the  front. 

708.  Be,sides  the  arrangements  which  depend  on  the  supposed  plan 
of  the  enemy,  the  wings  must  be  protected  by  the  ground,  or  supported 
by  troops  in  echelon  ;  if  the  attack  of  the  enemy  is  repulsed,  the  offen- 
sive must  at  once  be  taken,  to  inspire  the  troops,  to  disconcert  the  ene- 
my, and  often  to  decide  the  action.  In  thus  taking*  the  offensive,  a 
clo-e  column  should  be  pushed  rapidly  on  the  wing  or  flank  of  the  en- 
emy. The  divisions  of  this,  column  form  in  the  line  of  battle  succes- 
sively, and  eich  division  moves  to  the  front  as  soon  as  formed,  in  order, 
by  a  rapid  attack  in  echelon,  to  prevent  the  enemy  froni  changing  front 
or  bringing  up  his  reserves.  In  all  arrangements,  especially  in  those 
for  attacks,  it  is  most  important  to  conceal  the  design  until  the  moment 
of  execution,  and  then  to  execute  it  with  the  greatest  rapidity.  The 
night,  therefore,  is  preferred  for  the  movement  of  troops  on  the  flank 
or  rear  of  the  enemy,  otherwise  ic  is  necessary  to  mask  their  march  by 
a  grand,  movement  in  front,  or  by  taking  a  wide  circuit. 

709.  In  mak.ing  an  attack,  the  communications  to  the  rear  and  for  re- 
treat must  be  secured,  and  the  General  must  give  beforehand  all  neces- 
sarv  orders"  to  provide  for  that  event. 

710.  When  a  success  is  gained,  the  light  troops  should  pursue  the 
enemy  promptly  and  rapidly.  The  other  troops  will  restore  order  in 
their  columns,  then  advance  from  position  to  position,  always  prepared 
for  an  attack  or  to  support  the  troops  engaged. 

711.  Before  the  action,  the  Generals  indicate  the  places  where  they 
will  be:  if  they  change  position,  they  givg  notice  of  it,  or  leave  a  staff 
officer  to  show  where  they  have  gone. 

712.  During  the  fight  the  officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  keep 
the  men  in  the  ranks,  and  enforce  obedience,  if  necessary.  Soldiers 
must  not  be  permitted  to  leave  the  ranks  to  strip  or  rob  the  dead,  nor 
to  assist  the  wounded,  unless  by  express  permission,  which  is  only  to 
be  given  -after  the  action  is  decided.  The  highest  interest  and  duty  is 
to  win  the  victory,  which  only  can  insure  proper  care  of  the  wounded. 

713.  Before  the  action,  the  -Quartermaster  of  the  division  makes  all 
the  necessary  arrangements  for  the  transportation  of  the  wounded.  He 
establishes  the  ambulance  depots  in  the  rear,  and  gives  his  assistants 
the  necessary  instruction  for  the  service  of  the  ambulance  wagons  and 
other  means  of  removing  the  wounded. 

714.  The  ambulance  depot  to  which  the  wounded  are  carried  or  di- 
rected for  immediate  treatment,  is  generally  established  at  the  most 


.      BATTLES — JRISONERS   OP   WAB.  73 

convenient  building  nearest  the  field  of  battle.  A  red  /fa^  marks  its 
place,  or  the  way  to  it,  to  the  conductors  of  the  ambulances  and  to  the 
wounded  wh    can  walk. 

715.  The  active  ambulances  follow  the  troops  engaged  to  succor  the 
wounded  and  remove  them  to  the  deputs  ;  for  this  purpose  the  conduc-  . 
tors  should  always  have  the  necessary  assistants,  that  the  soldiers  may 
have  no  excuse  to  leave  the  ranks  for  that  object. 

716.  The  medical  director  of  the  division,  after  consultation  with  the 
Quartermaster-General,  distributes  the  medical  officers  and  hospital 
attendants  at  his  disposal,  to  the  depots  and  active  ambulances.  He 
will  send  officers  and  attendants  when  practicable,  to  the  active  ambu- 
lances, to  relieve  the  wounded  who  require  treatment  before  being  re- 
moved from  the  ground.  He  will  see  that  the  depots  and  ambulances 
are  provided  with  the  necetsary  apparatus,  medicines  and  stores.  He 
will  take  post  and  render  his  professional  services  at  the-  principal 
depots. 

717.  If  the  enemy  endanger  the  depot,  the  Quartermaster  takes  th6 
orders  of  the  General  to  remove  it  or  strengthen  its -guard. 

718.  The  wounded  in  the  depots  and  the  sick  are  removed  as  soon  as* 
possible  to  the  hospitals  that  have  been  established  by.  the  Quartermas* 
ter-General  of  the  array  on  the  flanks  or  rear  of  the  army. 

719.  After  an  "action,  the  officers  on  ordnance  duty  collect  the  muni- 
tions of  war  left  on  the  field,  and  make  a  return  of  them  to  the  General. 
The  Quartermaster's  Department  collects  the  rest  of  the  public  property, 
captured,  and  makes  the  returns  to  headquarters.^^ 

720.  Written  reports  for  the  General  commandifPhn  chief  are  made 
by  commandants  of  regiments,  batteries,  and  separate  squadrons,  and 
by  all  commanders  of  a  higher  grade,  each  in  what  concerns  his  own 
command,  and  to  his  immediate  commander. 

721.  When  an  officer  or  soldier  deserves  mention  for  conduct  in  ac- 
tion, a  special  report  shall  be  made  in  his  case,  and  the  General  coni- 
manding-in-chief  decides  whether  to  mention  him. in  his  report  to  the 
government  and  in  his*  orders.  But  he  shall  not  be.  mentioned  in  the 
report  until  he  has  been  mentioned  in  the  orders  to  the  array.  These 
ppecial  reports  are  examined  with  care  by  the  intermediate  command- 
ers, to  verify  the  facte,  and  secure  commendation  and  rewards  to  the- 
meritorious  only. 

722.  The  report  of  battles,  which  must  frequently  be  made  before 
these  special  reports  of  persons  are  scrutinized,  is  confined  to  general 
praise  or  blame,  and  an  account  of  the  operations, 

PRISONERS    OP   WAR. 

723.  Prisoners  of  war  will  be  disarmed  and  sent  to  the  rear,  and  re- 
ported as  soon  as  "practicable  to  the  headquarters.  The  return  of#pri- 
soners  fr>m  the  headquarters  of  the  Army  to*  the  War  Department 
will  specify  the  number,  rank,  and  corps.  ,    , 

724.  The  private  property  of  prisoners  will  be -duly  respf'hwd,  and 
each  shall  be  treated  with  the  regard  due  to  his  rank.  Tbrmittv»  to 
obey  the  necessary  orders  given  them.  They  receive  for  distance  ~,e 
one  ration  each,  without  regard  to  rank  ;  and  the  woundecrudently,  ab

ances  to  them  will  depend  on  conventions  with  the  enemy.     Prisoner's 
horses  will  be  taken  for  the  army.  a^^a 

725.  Exchanges  of  prisoners  and  release  of  officers  on  parole  depend 
on  the  orders  of  the  General  coramanding-in-chief,  under  the  instruc- 
tions of  government. 

CONVOYS    AND    THEIR   ESCORTS. 

726.  The  strength  and  composition  of  the  escort  of  a  convoy  depend 
on  the  country,  the  nature  and  value  of  the  convoy,  and  the  dangers  it 
may  incur.  A  large  escort  is  required  for  a  convoy  of  powder,  that 
the  defence  may  not  be  near  the  train. 

727.  Cavalry  is  employed  in  escorts  chiefly  to  reconnoitre;  the  pro- 
portion is  larger  as  the  country  is  more  open. 

728.  Pioneers  or  working  parties  are  attaohed  to  convoys  to  mend 
roads.'remove  obstacles,  and  erect  defences.  •The  convoys  should  always 
be  provided  with  spare  wheels,  poles,  axles,  &g. 

729.  The  commandant  of  the  escort  should  receive  detailed  instruc- 
tions in  writing. 

730.  As  far  as  the  defence  permits,  the  commander  of  the  escort 
shall  refer  to  the  officer  in  charge  of  the  convoy  for  the  hours  of  depar- 
ture, the  halts,  the  parking  and  order  of  the  train,  and  the  precautions 
against  accidents. 

731.  Officers  who  accompany  the  convoy,  but  do  not  belong  to  thees- 
cort,  shall  exercise  no  authority  in  it  except  by  consent  of  the  comman- 
der. If  these  officers  are  junior  to  the  commander,  he  may  assign  them 
to  duty  if  the  defence  requires  it. 

732.  Large  convfljjps  are  formed  into  divisions,  each  with  a  conductor. 
The  distance  between  the  wagons  is  four  paces.  A  small  party  of  in- 
fantry is  attached  to  each  division. 

733.  Generally,  munitions  of  war  are  at  the  head  of  the  convoy,  sub- 
sistence pext,  and  then  other  military  stores  ;  the  sutler  last.  But  al- 
ways {hat  part  of  the  convoy  which  is  most  important  to  the  army  shall 
be  where  it  is  most  secure  from  danger. 

734.  The  commandant  should  send  out  reconnoitering  parties,  and 
never  put  the  convoy  in  motion  until  their  reports  have  been  received. 
He  always  forms  an  advance  and  rear  guard,  and  keeps  the  main  body 
under  his  immediate  order  at  the  most  important  point,  with  small 
gunrds  or  posts  at  other  points. 

735.  In  an  open  country  the  main  body  marches  by  the  side  of  the 
road,  opposite  the  centre  of  the  envoy ;  in  other  cases  at  the  head  or 
rear  of  the  column,  as  the  one  or  the  other  fa  more  exposed. 

736.  The  advance  guard  precedes  the  convoy  far  enough  to  remove 
all  obstacles  to  its  advance.  It  examines  the  woods,  denies,  and  villa- 
ges, and  by  mounted  men  gives  information  to  the  commander,  and  re- 
ceives his  orders.     It  reconnoiters  places  for  halts  and  parks. 

737.  If  the  head  of  the  column  is  threatened,  the  advanced  guard 
seizes  the  denies  and  places  which  the  enemy  might  occupy,  and  holds 
them  unj.il  the  main  body  advances  to  the  front  and  relieves  it ;  the 
main  £^{7  holds  the  positions  until  the  head  of  the  convoy  arrives,  and 
^.^cessary  detachments,  which  are  relieved  by  the  parties  marching 
^r  means  </*8'on8  '■>  tne.  Posts  are  not  abandoned  until  the  whole  convoy

XVOYS    AND    THEIR    ESCORTS.  75 

i  33.  When  the  rear  is  threatened,  like  measures  are  taken  ;  the  rear 
guard  defends  the  ground*  and  retards  the  enemy  by  breaking  the 
bridges  and  blocking  the  road.  < 

TS(J.  If  the  flanks  are  threatened,  and  the  ground  is  broken,  and 
many  defiles  are  to  be  passe  1,  the  defence  of  the  couvoy  becomes  more 
difficult ;  the  advance  and  rear  guards  must  be  reduced,  the  flanks 
strengthened,  and  positions  which  will  cover  the  march  of  the  convoy 
must  be  occupied  by  the  main  body  of  the  troops  before  the  head  of  the 
convoy  reaches  them,  and  until  it  has  passed. 

740.  If  the  convoy  is  large  and  has  to  pass  places  that  the  force  and\ 
position  of  the  enemjr  make  .dangerous,  the  loss  of  the  whole  convoy 
must  not  be  risked;  it  must  pass  by  divisions,  which  reunite  after  the 
passage.  In  this  case  the  greater  part  of  the  troops  guard  the  first  di- 
vision ;  they  seize  the  important  points,  and  cover  them  with  light 
troops,  or,  if  necessary,  with  small  posts,  and  hold  them  until  ajl  the 
divisions  have  passed. 

741.  If  there  is  artillery  in  the  convoy,  the  commander  of  the  escort 
uses  it  for  the  defence. 

742.  To  move  faster  and  make  the  defence  easier,  the  wagons  move 
in  double  file  whenever  the  road  allows  it.  If  a  wagon  breaks,  it  is  at 
once  romoved  from  the  road  ;  when  repaired,  it  takes  the  rear  ;  when  it 
cannot  be  repaired,  its  load  and  horses  are  distributed  to  some  of  the 
other  wagons  kept  in  the  rear  for  that  purpose. 

743.  Convoys  by  water  are  escorted  on  the  same  principles.  Each 
boat  has  a  small  infantry  guard  ;  one  portion  of  the  escort  precedes  or 
follows  the  convoy  in  boats.  The  cavalry  march  opposite  the  couvoy  ; 
the  advance  and  rear  guafd  move  by  land,  and  all  are  connected  by 
flankers  with  the -convoy.  Where  a  river  runs  through  a  narrow  valley, 
the  body  of  the  infantry  moves  by  land  to  prevent  the  enemy  from  oc- 
cupying the  heights  and  disturbing  the  convoy. 

744.  Convoys  halt  every  hour  to  let  the  horses  take  breath  and  the 
wagons  close  up.  Long  halts  are  made  but  seldom,  and  only  in  places 
that  have  been  reoonnoitercd  and  found  favorable  for  defence.  Atnighfr 
the  park  is  arranged  for  defence,  and  in  prefSrence  at  a- distance  from 
inhabited  places,  if  in  an  enemy's  country. 

7 lo.  The  wagons  are  usually  parked  in  ranks,  axle  against  axle,  the 
poles  in  the  same  direction,  and  with  sufficient  space  between  the  ranks 
for  the  horses.  If  an  attack  is  fe.ir.ecL,  they  are  parked  in  square,  the 
hind  wheels  outside,  and  the  horses  inside. 

746.  Oa  the  appearance  of  the  enemy  during  the  march,  the  com- 
mander closes  up  the  wagons  and  continues  his  march  in  order;  he 
avoids  fighting  ;  but  if  the  enem}'  seizes  a  position  that  commands  his 
road,  he  attacks  vigorously  with  the  mass  of  his  force,  but  is  not  to  con- 
tinue the  pursuit  far  from  the  convoy.  The  convoy  halts,  and  resumes 
the  march  when  the  position  is  carried. 

747.  When  the  enemy  is  too  strong  to  be  attacked,  the  convoy  is 
parked  in  square  if  there  is  room  ;  if  not  closed  up  in  double  file  ;  at 
the  front  and  rear  the  road  is  blocked  by  wagons  across  it.  Thedrive'rs 
'are  dismounted  at  the  heads  of  the  horses.  They  are  not  permitted  to 
make  their  escipo.  The  light  troops  keep  the  enemy  at  a  distance  as 
long  as  possible,  and  are  supported  when  necessary,  but  prudently,  aa 

*the  troops  mu3t  be  kept  in  hand  to  resist  the  main  attack. 


76  ■.'".'"'•         BAGGAGE   TRAINS. 

748.  If  a  wagon  takes  fire  in  the  park,  remove  it  if  possible :  if  not, 
remove  first  the  ammunition  wagons,  then  those  to  leeward  of  the  five. 

749.  When  a  whole  convoy  can  not  be  saved,  the  most  valuable  part 
may  sometimes  be  by  abandoning  the  rest.  If  all  efforts  fail,  and  there 
is  no  hope  of  succor,  the  convoy  must  be  set  on  fire  and  the  horses 
Mlted  that  cannot  be  saved  ;  the  escort  may  then   eat  its  way  through. 

750.  If  the  convoy  is  of  prisonersof  war,  every  effort  should  be  made 
to  reach  a  village  or  strong  building  where  they  may  be  confined  ;  if 
forced  to  fight  in  the  field,  the  prisoners  must  be  secured  and  made  to  Ho 
down  until  the  action  is  over. 

BAGGAGE   TftAlNS.- 

751.  The  baggage  tram  of  general  headquarters  and  the  trains  of  the 
several  divisions  are  each  under  the  charge  of  an  officer  of  the  Quarter- 
master's Department.  These  officers  command  and  conduct  the  trains 
under  the  orders  they  receive  from  their  respective  headquarters.  When 
the  trains  of  different  divisions  march-together,  or  the  train  of  a  division 
marches  with  the  train  of  general  headquarters,  the  senior  Quartermas- 
ter directs  the  whole. 

752.  The  regimental  Quartermaster  has  charge  of  the  wagons,  horses, 
equipments,  and  all  means  of  transport  employed  in  the  service  of  the 
Tegiment.  Under  the  orders  of  the  Colonel,  he  assembles  them  for  the 
march,  and  maintains  the  order  and  police  of  the  train  in  park  on  the 
march.  On  marches,  the  regimental  trains  are  under  the  orders  of  the 
Quartermaster  of  the  division.  When  the  march  is  by  brigade,  the 
senior  Regimental  Quartermaster  in  the  brigade,  or  the  Quartermaster 
of  the  brigade  has  the  direction  of  the  whole.  The  necessary  wagon- 
masters,  or  non-commissioned  officers  to  act  as  such,  are  employed  with 
the  several  trains. 

753.  None  but  the  authorized  wagons  are  allowed  to  march  with  the 
train.  The  wagons  of  the  several  heat1  quarters,  the  regimental  wagons, 
and  the  wagons  of  sutlers  authorized  by  orders  from  headquarters  to 
march  with  the  train,  are  all  to  be  conspicuously  marked. 

754.  When  the  train  of  headquarters  is  to  have  a  guard,  the  strength 
of  the  guard  is  regulated  by  the  General.  Generals  of  Brigade  guard 
their  trains  by  the  men  attached  to  the  train  of  the  first  regiment- of 
their  brigades.  The  regimental  trains  are  loaded,  unloaded,  and  guard-, 
ed,  as  far  as  practicable,  by  convalescents  and  men  not  effective  in  the 
ranks  ;  in  the  cavalry,  by  dismounted  men.  When  the  guard  of  a  train 
is  the  escort  for  its  defence,  the  regulations  in  regard  to  convoys  and 
escorts  take  effect*  * 

755.  Habitually  each  division  is  followed  by  its  train,  the  regimental 
trains,  uniting  at  the  brigade  rendezvous.  When  otherwise,  fehe  order 
for  the  movement  of  the  divisions,  brigades,  and.  regiments  contains  the 
necessary  directions  in  regard  to  the  assembling  and  marching  of  the 
respective  trains.  The  several  trains  march  in  an  order  analogous  to 
the  rank  of  the  generals,  and  the  order  of  battle  of  the  troops  to  which

the  troop?,  or  to  impede  the  march  of  the  troops,

run  away  in  case  of  attack. 

757.  The  General  commanding  the  army  and  the  Generals  of  Division 
trill  not  permit  any  general  or  staff  officer,  or  regiment  under  their  or- 
ders, or  any  person  whatsoever,  attached  to  their  command,  to  have 
more  than  the  authorized  amount  or  means  ef  transportation.  For  this 
purpose  they  will  themselves  make,  and  cause  to  he  made,  frequent  le- 
views  and  inspections  of  the  trains.  They  will  see  that  no  trooper  is 
employed  to  lead  a  private  horse,  no  soldier  to  drive  a  private  vehicle* 
and  that  no  trooper  is  put  on  foot  to  lend  his  horse  to  an  officer.  They 
will  not  permit  the  wagons  of  the  artillery  or  of  the  train  to  be  loaded 
with  anything  foreign  to  their  proper  service,  nor  any  public  horse,  for 
any  occasion,  to  be  harnessed  to  a  private  carriage. 

758.  The  officers  of  the  Quartermasters  Department,  the  wagon  mas- 
ters, and  all  conductors  of  trains,  are  charged  with  watching  that  the 
regulations  respecting  transportation  allowances  are  strictly  observed. 

GENERAL   1'OLICE.

759,  When  necessary,  tire  General-in-Chief  or  General  of  Division 
may.  appoint  a  provost  marshal  to  take  charge  of  prisoners,  with  a  suit- 
able guard,  or  other  police  force. 

760,  Private  servants,  not  soldiers,  will  not  be  allowed  to  wear  the 
uniform  of  any  corps  of  the  army  ;  but  each  will  be  required  to  carry 
with- him  a  certificate  from  the  officer  who  employs  him,  verified,  for 
regimental  officers,  by  the  signature  of  the  Colonel;  for  other  officers 
under  the  rank  of  Colonel,  by  the  chief  of  their  corps  or  department. 

7GL.  Laundresses  permitted  to  fujloyy  the  army  will  be  furnished  with 
certificates,  signed  as  in  the  preceding  paragraph,  and  no  woman  of  bad 
character  will  be  allowed  to  follow  the  army.  Other  persons  with  the 
army,  not  ofecers  or  soldiers,  euoh  as  guides  of  the  country,  interpre- 
ters, &c,  will  carry  about  them  similar  certificates  from  the  headquar- 
ters that  employs  them. 

7G2.' Deserters  from  the  enemy,  after  being  examined,  will  be  se- 
cured for  some  days,  as  they  may  be  spies  in  disguise  ;  as  opportunities 
offei>  they  will  be  sent  to  the  rear  ;  after  which,  if  they  are  found  lurk- 
ing about  the  army,  or  attempting  to  return  to  the  enemy,  they  will  be 
treated  with  severity. 

?63.  The  arms  and  accoutrements  of  deserters  will  be  tarned  over  to 
the  Ordnance  Department,  and  their  horses  to  corps  in  want  of  them, 
after  being  branded  with  t"he  letters  "  C.  S."  The  compensation  to  be 
accorded  to  deserters,  for  such  objects,  will  bo  according  to  appraisement, 
made  under  the  direction  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department.  The  en- 
listment of  deserters,  without  express  permission  from  General  head- 
quarters, is  prohibited. 

704.  It  is  forbidden  to  purchase  horses  without  ascertaining  the  right 
of  the  party  to  sell.  Stolen  horses  are  to  be  restored.  Estrays,  in  the 
enemy's  country,  when  the  owner  is  not  discovered,  are  taken  for  the 
army. 

7G5.  Plundering  and  marauding,  at  all  times  disgraceful  to  soldierR,

SAFEGUARDS — SIEGES. 


mit  of  no  remission  of  the   awful  punishment  which  the  military  law 
awards  against  offences  of  this  nature. 

SAFEGUARDS. 

766.  Safeguards  are  protections  granted  to  persons  or  property  in 
foreign  parts  by  the  commanding  general,  or  by  other  commanders 
within  the  limits  of  their  command. 

767.  Safeguards  are  usually  given  to  protect  hospitals,  public  estab- 
lishments, establishments  of  religion,  charity,  or  instruction,  museums, 
depositories  of  the  arts,  mills,  post-offices,  and  other  institutions  of  pub- 
lic benefit ;  also  to  individuals  whom  it  may  be  the  interest  of  the  army 
to  respect. 

768.  A  safeguard  may  consist  of  one  or  more  men  of  fidelity  and 
firmness,  generally  non-effective  non-commissioned  officers,  furnished 
with  a  paper  setting  out  clearly  the  protection  and  exemptions  it  is  in- 
tended to  secure,  signed  by  the  commander  giving  it,  and  his  staff  of- 
ficer ;  or  it  may  consist  of  such  paper,  delivered  to  the  party  whose  per- 
son, family,  house  and  property  \£  is  designed  to  protect.  These  safe- 
guards must  be  numbered  and  registered. 

760.  The  men  left  as  safeguards  by  one  corps  may  be  replaced  by 
another.  They  are  withdrawn  when  the  country  is  evacuated  ;  but  if 
not,  they  have  orders  to  await  the  arrival  of  the  enemy's  troops,  and 
apply  to  the  commander"  for  a  safe-conduct  to  the  outposts. 

770.  Form  of  a  safeguard  : 

By  authority  of , 

A  safeguard  is  hereby  granted  to  [A.  B  ,  or  the  house  and 

family  of  A.  B ,  or  the  college,  mills,  or'  property,  stating  pre- 
cisely the  place,  nature  and  description  of  the  person,  property,  or 
buildings.]  All  officers  and  soldiers  belonging  to  the  army  of  the  Con- 
federate States  are  therefore  commanded  to  respect  this  safeguard!  and 
to  afford,  if  necessary,  protection  to  [the  person,  family,  or  property  of 

,  as  the  case  may  be.]

sieges.  • 

771.  In  the  following  regulations  the  besieging  force  is  supposed  to 
be  two  divisions  of  infantry  and  a  brigade  of  cavalry.  The  same  prin- 
ciples govern  in  other  cases. 

772.  The  Brigadier-Generals  of  infantry  serve,  in  turn,  as  Generals 
of  the  trenches  ;  one  or  more  of  them  are  detailed  daily,  according  to 
the  front  and  number  of  attacks  ;  they  superintend  the  operations,  and 
dispose  the  guards  of  the  trenches  to  repulse  sqrties  and  protect  the 
works.  Officers  of  the  general  staff  are  assigned  to  them  to  trr.nsmifc 
their  orders  and  attend  to  the  details  of  service. 


SIEGES.  79 

773.  "The  Colonels  and  Lieutenant-Colonels  of  infantry  alternate  for 
duty  in  the  trenches  ;  one  or  more  are  detailed  daily  ;  they  superintend 
the  service  of  the  guards  and  workmen  in  the  part  of  the  work  to 
which  the  general  of  the  trenches  assign  them,  being  posted  with  troops 
of  their  own  regiments  in  preference.  The  commandant  of  the  siege 
may  place  the  Colonels  on  the  roster  with  the  Brigadier-Generals. 

774.  The  commandant  of  engineers  and  artillery  accompany  the 
first  troops  before  the  plaee  to  examine  the  works  rind  the  approaches. 
When  the  engineers  have, completed  the  reconnoisance  of  the  works, 
and  of  each  front  as  far  as  practicable,  the  commandant  of  engineers 
makes  a  plan  of  the  works  as  exact  and  detailed  as  possible,  and  under 
the  instructions  of  the  General  commanding  the  siege,  draws  up  the 
general  plan  of  the  siege,  and  discusses  it  with  the  commandant  of  ar- 
tillery in  regard  to  the  best  employment  of  that  arm.  These  officers 
then  submit  their  joint  or  separate  opinions  to  the  General  who  decides 
on  the  phin  of  the  siege,  and  give  the  orders  for  the  execution.  The 
commandant  of  engineers  directs  the  construction  of  all  the  works  of 
the  siege,  under  the  authority  of  the  General,  and  lays  before  him  every 
day  a  report  of  his  operations,  and  a  plan  showing  the  progress  of  the 
attack.  The  commandant  of  artillery  also  makes  daily  reports  to  the 
General  of  all  that  relates  to  his  branch  of  the  service. 

775.  The  Quartermaster-General  establishes  the  hospitals,  and  or- 
ganizes the  means  for  transporting  the  wounded  to  them. 

776.  The  commanding  General  appoints  a  field  officer  of  the  trenches, 
who  is  aided  by  one  or  two  Captains  or  Lieutenants. 

777.  The  field  officer  of  the  trenches  is  charged  wilh  all  the  details 
relative  to  the  assembling  of  the  guards  and  the  workmen.  lie  distri- 
butes the  guards  on  the  different  points  of  the  attack  agreeably  to  the 
orders  of  the  General  of  the  trenches,  and  forms  the  detachment  of 
workmen  for  the  engineers  and  artillery  ;  that  he  may  be  prepared  for 
this  distribution,  he  receives  every  day  from  the  Adjutant-General  a 
statement  of  the  details  for  the  next  day. 

778.  On  the  arrival  of  the  General  of  the  trenches,  the  field  officer  of 
the  trenches  gives. him  all  the  information  necessary  to  enable  him  to 
station  the  troops,  attends  him  in  his  visit  to  the  trenches,  and  takes 
his  orders  on  the  changes  .to  make  in  the  position  of  the  troops.  The 
execution  is  intrusted  to  the  commandants  of  the  troops. 

779.  The  field  officer  of  the  trenchesjsees  that  men  and  litters  are 
always  ready  to  bring  off  the  wounded.  One  or  more  companies  of  the 
guards  of  the  trenches  are  put  under  his  immediate  orders  for  the  pre- 
servation of  order  and  police  in  the  trenches. 

780.  The  divisions,  brigades,  regiments,  and  battalions,  are  encamped 
during  the  siege  jn  the  order  of  battle.  The  service  of  camp  is  con- 
ducted as  heretofore  prescribed. 

781.  The  infantry  has  two  kind  of  siege  service — the  guard  of  the 
trenches  and  the  work  of  the  trenches. 

7S2.  Tl  e  guards  of  the  trenches  mount  every  day  by  battalions,  in 
such  order  of  detail  that  all  the  troops  .  may  take  an  equal  share,  and 
no  part  of  the  Hue  be  left  tiio  weak.  If  only  one  battalion  is  required, 
each  division  furnishes  it  alternately  ;  if , two  are  required,  each  divi- 
sion givos  one  ;  if  three,  one   division  furnishes  two,  the  other  one,  al- 


80  sifiuiss. 

ternately.     The  two  battalions  of  the  same  divisions  are  not  taken  from 
the  same  brigade. 

783.  The  detail  for  work  of  the  trenches  is  by  company,  from  all  the 
regiments  at  one  time,  or  in  turn,  and  continues  generally  twelve  hours. 
The  detail  from  any  regiment  should  never  be  less  than  a  company.  If 
only  half  a  company  would  be  needed  from  all  the  regiments  at  a  time, 
every  other  regiment  furnishes  a  full  company  alternately. 

784.  The  battalions  for  guard  are  detailed  at"  least  twelve  hours  in 
advance,;  they  furnish  no  other  details  during  this  tour.  If  the  whole 
regiment  is  called  out,  it  leaves  a  sufficient  police  guard  in  camp. 

785.  Twenty-four  hours;  or  twelve  at  least,  before  mounting  guard  in 
the  trenches,  the  battalions  detailed  for  guard  do  not  furnish  workmen; 
and  the  companies  of  these  battalions  whose  tour  it  would  have  been 
to  work  in  the  trenches  do  not"  go  there  for  twenty-four  hours  after 
guard,  if  possible,  or  at  the  least  twelve. 

786.  The  workmen  who  are  required  for  other  work  than  that  of  the 
trenches,  are  taken  from  the  roster  for  fatigue  from  the  battalions  and 
companies  not  employed  in  the  trenches. 

787.  The  battalions  first  for  detail  for  guard  of  the  trenches,  and  the 
companies  first  for  detail  for  work  in  the  trenches,  furnish  no  other  de- 
tails, and  are  held  on  picket,  ready'to  march  at  the  call  of  the  field  offi- 
cer of  the  trenches. 

788.  Materials  Tor  the  siege,  such  as  fascines,  gabions,  hurdles,  pick- 
ets, &c.,are  furnished- by  the  different  corps,  in  the  proportion  ordered 
by  the  General. 

789.  Guards  and  workmen  going  to  the  trenches,  march  without  beat 
of  drum  or  music. 

790.  At  alJ  times,  and  especially  on  the  day  the  trenches  are  opened, 
everything  is  avoided  likely  to  attract  the  attention  of  the  "enemy.  With 
this  view,  the  General  may  vary  the  hour  of  relieving  guards.   " 

791.  The  chiefs  of  engineers  and  artillery  make  requisitions  for 
workmen  in  advance,  that  the  details  may  be  made  in  time  to  prevent 
any  delay  in  the  work.  They  should  exceed  the  number  strictly  re- 
quired, that  there  may  be  a  reserve  for  unforeseen  wants.  If  this  re- 
serve is  found  insufficient,  the  General  directs  the-  field  officer  of  the 
trenches  to  call  on  the  picket. 

792.  Before  the  guards  and  workmen  march,  the  field  officer  of  the 
trenches  arranges  them  so  that  each  detachment  can  reach  its  ground 
without  confusion.  The  troops  are  posted  in  the  trenches  according  to 
the  position  of  their  regiments  in  the  order  of  battle,  and,  as"  far  as 
possible,  the  companies  of  workmen  in  like-  order.  The  reserves  of 
workmen  are  placed  at  the  depot  of  the  trenches,  or  the  nearest  suita- 
ble place  to  the  works. 

793.  The  workmen  leave  their  knapsacks  and  swords  in  camp,  and 
march  with  their  fire-arms  and  cartridge-boxes,  which  they  place  near 
them  while  at  work.  They  always  carry  their  overcoats,  to  cover  them 
in  resting  or  wnen  wounded. 

794.  The  guards  always  enter  the  trenches  with  arms  trailed,  a<nd 
the  workmen  also,  unloss  they  carry  materials  or  tools,  when  the  arms 
9,re  in  the  gling.  . 

795.  The  guards  and  detachments  of  workmen  send  a  Corporal  to  the 


.SIEGES.  8l 

openings  of  the  trenches  to  guid-e  the  relief.     They  march  out  of  tho 
trenches  by  the  flank,  with  trailed  arms. 

796.  Sand-bags,  forming  loop-holes,  are  placed  at  intervals  on  the 
parapet  to  protect  the  sentinels  ;  they  are  more  numerous  than  the  sen- 
tinels, so  that  the  enemy  may  not  know  where  the  sentinels  are  placed. 

797.  When  detachments  are  placed  at  night  in  advance  of  the 
trenches,  to  cover  ihe  workmen,  the  men  sit  or  lie  down,  with  th>eir 
fire-arms  in  their  bands,  to  hide  themselves  better  from  the  enemy; 
the  sentinels  put  their  ears  to  the  ground  frequently,  that  they  may 
hear  troops  coming  out  of  the  place.  To  prevent  mistakes,  the  work- 
men are  told  what  troops  cover  them. 

T?S.  No  honors  are  paid  in  the  trenches.  When  the  General  com- 
manding the  siege  visits  them,  the  guards  place  themselves  in  rear  of 
the  banquette,  and  rest  on  their  arms.  The  colors  are  never  carried 
to  the  trenches  unless  the  whole  regiment  marches  to  repulse  a  sortie 
or  make  an  assault.  Even  in  this  case,  they  are  not  displayed  until  the 
General  commanding  the  siege  gives  a  formal  order, 

799.  The  materials  of  the  siege  of  all  kinds,  together  with  the  tools, 
are  collected  in  part  at  the  depots  of  the  trenches,  and  in  part  at  the 
opening  of  the  trenches,  or  in  such  other  place  as  has  been  appointed 
for  the  convenience  of  the  service  by  the  field  officers  of  the  trenches,  on 
theadvice  of  the  chiefs  of  artillery  and  engineers.  They  are  in  charge 
of  officers  of  engineers  and  artillery,  with  guards  or  non-commissioned 
officers  of  both  corps.  But  if  these  corps  cannot  furnish  them,  the 
chiefs  apply  for  assistance  from  the  infantry. 

800.  The  workmen,  in  going  to  the  trenches,  carry  such  tools  and 
materials  as  are  required  by  the  artillery  and  engineers.  In  this  case, 
the  field  officer  of  the  trenches  has  notice  and  fuperintends  it. 

•  801.  Thv  soldiers  sent  to  the  trenches  go  with  their  cartridge-boxes 
filled.  Cartridges,  when  needed,  are  sent  to  the  trenches  on  the  re- 
quisition of  commanders  of  battalions,  approved  by  the  General  of 
the  trenches. 

802.  In  the  case  of  a  sortie,  the  guards  move  rapidly  to  the  places 
that  have  been  designated  by  the  General  of  the  trenches,  and  which 
affords  the  best  defence  for' -the  head  of  the  works,  the  batteries,  the  com- 
munications, or  the  flanks,  or  best  enable  them  to  take  the  sortie  itself 
in  flank  or  reverse.  Having  lined  the  banquette  to  fire  on  the  enemy, 
the  troops  form  on  the -revenee  of  the  trench  to  receive  him.  The  work- 
men take  arms,  retain  their  positions,  or  retire  with  their  tools,  as  or- 
dered. The  officers  commanding  the  detachments  of  workmen  see  that 
their  movements  are  made  promptly  and  in  good  order,  so  as  to  avoid 
all  confusion  in  the  communications. 

803.  The  troops  that  advance  beyond  the  trenches  to  repulse  the 
sortie,  must  not  follow  in  pursuit.  The  General  takes  care  that  they 
return  to  the  trenches  before  the  retreat  of  the  sortie  allows  the  artil- 
lery of  the  place  to  open  on  them.  When  the  workmen  return,  the 
officers  and  noncommissioned  officers  of  the  detachments  call  the  roll 
without  interrupting  the  work,  which  is  immediately  resumed. 

804.  When  it  is  necessary  to  dismount  cavalry  and  send  them  to  the 
trenches,  they  should  be  employed  as  near  their  camp  as  possible,  and 
posted  between  the  detachments  of  infautry. 


82  iORTI^IED    PLACES, 

805.  Men  belonging  to  the  cavalry  may,  in  assaults,  be  employed  In 
carrying  fascines  and  other  materials  to  fill  ditches  and  make  passages. 

806.  The  general  officers  of  cavalry  are  more  particularly  employed 
in  the  service  of  posts  and  detachments  placed  in  observation  to  protect 
the  siege.  They  and  the  field  officers  of  this  arm  are  employed  in  the 
command  of  escorts  to  convoys,  of  whatever  arms  the  escorts  may  be 
composed.  When  these  duties  are  not  sufficient  to  employ  them,  they 
take  their  share  of  the  duty  of  the  trenches. 

807.  The  officers  of  engineers  and  artillery  of  the  trenches  "make  to 
the. General  of  the  trenches  a  return  of  all  losses  in  their  troops,  and 
such  other  reports  on  the  work  as  he  requires,  in  addition  to  the  reports 
direct  to  their  respective  chiefs  on  the  details  Of  the  service. 

808.  At  the  end  of  each  tour,  the  field  officer  of  the  trenches  draws 
up  a'report  for  the  twenty-four  hours  to  the  General  of  the  trenches. 
The  General  of  the  trenches  reports  to  the  General  commanding  the 
siege. 

809.  The  commanders  of  the  several  corps  in  the  trenches  report, 
when  relieved,  to  their  respective  headquarters  the  losses  during  the 
tour,  and  the  conduct  of  the  officers  and  men. 

810.  However  practicable  the  breach  may  appear,  or  however  ruined 
the  work  in  rear  of  it,  the  heads  of  columns  must  always  be  supplied 
with  ladders  to  get  over  unexpected  obstacles. 

■811.  The  General  commanding  the  siege  designates  picked  compa- 
nies to  protect  property  and  persons,  and  prevent  pillage  and  violence, 
from  the  moment  the  place  is  carried.  The  officers  exert  themselves  to 
restrain  the  men. 

812.  The  General  designates  the  places  requiring  particular  protec- 
tion, such  as  churches,  asylums,  hospitals,  colleges,  schools  and  maga- 
zines. The  order  of  the;r  protection  should  remind  the  soldiers,  at  the 
time,  of  the  penalty  of  disobeying  it. 

813.  Whether  the  place  be  t;iken  by  assault  or  by  capitulation,  the 
provisions  and  the  military  stores,  and  the  public  funds,  are  reserved 
for  the  use  of  the  army. 

814.  The  commander  of  engineers  will  keep  a  journal  of  the  siege, 
showing  the  operations  of  each  day.  in  detail,  the  force,  em  ployed  on  the 
work,  the  kind  and  quantity  of  materials  used  in  them,  &c.  He  will 
also  mark  on  a  plan  of  the  ground  the  daily. progress  of  the  works,  and 
make  the  necessary  drawings  explanatory  of  their  construction. 

815.^  The  commander  of  the  artillery  will  keep  a  daily  journal  of  the 
operations  under  his  direction,  showing  the  number  and  kind  of  pieces 
in  battery,  the  force  employed  in  serving  them,  the  kind  and  quantity 
of  ammunition  expended,  the  number  of  rounds  fired  from  each  piece 
of  ordnance,  the  effect  of  the  fire,  and  all  other  particulars  relative  to 
his  branch  of  the  service. 

816.'  These  journals  and  drawings  will  be  sent  after  the  siege,  with 
the  report  of  the  General,  to  the  War  Department. 

DEFENCE  OF  FORTIFIED  PLACES. 

817.  In  war,  every  commander  of  a  fortified  place  shall  alwavs  hoid 
himself  prepared  with  his  plan  of  defence,  as  if  at  any  time  liable  to 
attack.  He  arranges  this  plan  according  to  the  probable  mode  of  at- 
tack ;  determines  the  posts  of  the  troops  in  the  several  parts  of  the 


.     FORTIFIES   PLAGES.  fc8 

works,  the  reliefs,  the  reserves,  and  the  details  of  service  in  all  the 
corps.  He  draws  up  instructions  for  a  case  of  attack,  and  exercises  the 
garrison  according  to  his  plan  of  defence.  In  sea-coast  works  he  pro- 
vides the  instructions  for  the  different  batteries  on  the  approach  of 
ship-. 

818.  In  framing  his  plan,  he  studies  the  works  and  the  exterior  with- 
in the  radius  of  attack  and  investment.  Che  strength  of  the  garrison,  the 
artillery,  the  munitions  of  war,  subsistence  and  supplies  of  all  kinds, 
and  takes  immediate  measures  to  procure  whatever  is  deficient  of  troops 
or  supplies,  either  by  requisition  on  the  Government,  or  from  the  means 
put  nt  his  disposal. 

819.  -On  the  approach  of  an  enemy,  he  removes  all  houses  and  other 
objects,  within  or  without  the  place,  that  cover  the  approaches,  or  in- 
terrupt the  fire  of  the  guns  or  the  movements  of  the  troops.  He  as- 
sures himself  personally  that  all  posterns,  outlets,  or  embrasures,  &c., 
are  in  proper  state  of  security. 

820.  He  shall  be  furnished  by  the  Department  of  War  with  ft  plan  of 
tho  works,  showing  all  the  details  of  the  fortifications  and  of  the  exte- 
rior within  the  radius  of  attack  ;  with  a  map  of  the  environs  within  the 
radius  of  investment;  with  a  map  of  the  vicinity,  including  the  neigh- 
lormg  works,  n>ads,  water  channels,  coasts,  &c. ;  with  a  memoir  ex- 
plaining the  situation  and  defence  of  the  place,  and  the  relations  and 
bearings  of  the  several  works  on  each  other,  and  on  the  approaches  by 
land  and  water — all  which  he  carefully  preserves,  and  communicates 
only  to  the  council  of  defence. 

821.  lie  consults  his  next  in  rank,  and  the  senior  officer  of  the  engi- 
neers and  of  the  artillery,  either  separately,  or  as  a  council  of  defence. 
In  trie  latter  case,  he  designates  an  officer  to  act  as  secretary  to  the 
council,  and  to  record  their  proceedings  and  their  joint  or  separate 
opinions,  which  are  to  be  kept  secret  during  the  siege.  The  members 
may  record  their  opinions  under  their  own  signature.  In  all  cases,  the 
commander  decides  on  his  own  responsibility. 

822.  The  commander  of  the  place,  and  the  chiefs  of  engineers  and  of 
artillery,  shall  keep  journals  of  the  defence,  in  which  shall  be  entered, 
in  order  of  date,  without  blank  or  interlineation,  the  orders  given  or 
received,  the  manner  in  which  they  are  executed,  their  results/ and 
every  event  and  circumstance  of  importance  in  the  progress  of  the  de- 
fence. These  journals,  and  the  proceedings  of  the  council  of  defence, 
shall  be  sent,  after  the  siege,  to  the  Department  of  War. 

*  823.  There  shall  be  kept  in  the  office  of  the  commandant  of  the  place, 
to  be  sent  after  the  siege  to  the  Department  of  War,  a  map  of  the  envi- 
rons, a  plan  of  the  fortifications,  and  a  special  plan  of  the  front  of  at- 
tack, on  which  the  chief  engineer  will  trace,  in  succession,  the  positions 
occupied,  and  the  works  executed  by  the  enemy  from  the  investment ; 
and  also  the  works  of  counter  approach  of  aefence,  and  the  successive 
positions  of  the  artillery  and  other  troops  of  the  garrison  during  the 
progress  of  the  siege. 

824.  The  commander  shall  defend  in  succession  the  advanced  works, 
the  covered  way  and  outworks,  the  body  of  the  work,  and  4he  interior 
entrenchments.  He  will  not  be  content  with  clearing  away  the  foot  of 
the  breaches,  and  defending  them  by  abattis,  mines,  and  all  the  means 
used  in  sieges  ;  but  he  shall  begin  in  good  time,  behind  the  bastions  or 


84  TROOPS  ON  BOARD  OP  TRANSPORTS. 

front  of  attack,  the  necessary  entrenchments  to  resist  assaults  on  the 
main  work. 

825.  He  shall  use  his  means  of  defence  in  such  manner  as  always  .to 
have  a  reserve  of  fresh  troops,  chosen  from  his  best  soldiers,  to  resist 
assaults,  re-take  the  outworks,  and  especially  to  resist  assaults  on  the 
body  of  the  place  ;  and  a  reserve  of  provisions  for  the  last  period  of  the 
siege,  and  of  ammunition  for  the  last  attacks. 

826.  He  must,  in  every  case,  compel  the  besieging  force  to  approach 
by  the  slow  and  successive  works  of  siege,  and  must  sustain  at  least 
one  assault  on  a  practicable  breach  in  the  body  of  the  place. 

827.  When  the  commander  thinks  that  the  end  of  the  defence  has 
come,  he  shall  still  consult  the  council  of  defence  on  the  means  that 
may  remain  to  prolong  the  siege.  But  in  all  cases  he  alone  will  decide 
on  the  time,  manner,  and  terms  of  the  surrender.  In  the  capitulation, 
he  shall  not  seek  or  accept  better  terms  for  himself  than  fur  the  g'arri- 
son,  but^  shall  share  their  fate,  and  exert  his  best  endeavors  for  the  care 
of  the  troops,  and  especially  of  the  sick  and  wounded. 

828.  No  commander  in  the  field  shall  withdraw  troops  or  supplies  from 
any  fortified  place,  or  exercise  any  authority  over  its  commandant,  un- 
less it  has  been  put  subject  to  his  orders  by  competent  authority.

829.  Military  commanders  charged  with  the  embarkation  of  troops, 
and  officers  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department  intrusted  with  the  se- 
lection, of  the  transports,  will  take  care  that  the  vessels  are  entirely  sea- 
worthy and  proper  for  such  service,  and  suitable  arrangements  are 
made  in  them  for  the  health  and  comfort  of  the  troops. 

830.  If,  in  the  opinion  of  the  officer  commanding  the  troops  to  be  em- 
barked, the  vessel  is  not  proper  or  suitably  arranged,  the  officer  charged 
with  the  embarkation  shall  cause  her  to-be  inspected  by  competent  and 
experienced  persons. 

831.  Immediately  after  embarking,  the  men  will  be  assigned  to  quar- 
ters, equal  parties  on  both  sides  of  the  ship,  and  no  man  will  be  al- 
lowed to  loiter  or  sleep  on  the  opposite  side.  As  far  as  practicable,  the 
men  of  each  company  will  be  assigned  to  the  same  part  of  the  vessel, 
and  the  squads,  in  the  same  manner,  to  contiguous  berths. 

832.  Arms  will  be  so  placed,  if  there  be  no  racks,  as  to  be  secure  from 
injury,  and  enable  the  men  to  handle  them  promptly  ;  bayonets  unfixed 
and  in  scabbard.  .' 

833.  Ammunition  in  cartridge-boxes  to  be  so  placed  as  to  be  entirely 
secure  from  fire  ;  reserve  ammunition  to.be  reported  to  the  master  of 
the  transport,  with  request»that  he  designate  a  safe  place  of  deposit. 
Frequent  inspections  will  be  made  of  the  service  ammunition,  to  insure 
its  safety  and  good  condition. 

834.  No  officer  is  to  sleep  out  of  his  ship,  or  to  quit  his  ship,  without 
the  sanction  of  the  officer  commanding  on  board. 

835.,  The*guard  will  be  proportioned  to  the  number  of' sentinels  re- 
quired. At  sea,  the  guard  will  mount  with,  side-arms  only.  Tfie  of- 
fice of  the  guard  will  be  the  officer  of  the  day. 

836.  Sentinels  will  be  kept  over  the  fires,  with  buckets  of  water  at

hand,  promptly  to  extinguish  fire*.  Smoking  is  prohibited  between 
decks  or  in  the  cabins,  at-ah  times:  nor  shall  any  lights  he  allowed  be- 
tween decks  except  such  ship  lanterns  as  the  master  of  the  transport 
may  direct,  or  those  carried  by  the  officer  of  the  day  in  the  execution 
of  his  duty. 

837.  Regulations  will  be  adopted  to  enable  companies  or  messes  to 
cook  in  turn  ;  no  others  than  those  whose  turn  it  is  will  be  allowed  to 
loiter  round  or  approach  the  galleys  or  other  cooking  places. 

838.  The  commanding  officer  will  make  arrangements,  in  concert 
with  the  master  of  the  vessel,  for  calling  the  troops  to  quarters,  so  that 
in  case  of  alarm,  by  storm,  or  fire,  or  the  approach  of  the  enemy,  every 
man  may  repair  promptly  to  his  station.  But  he  will  take  care  not  to 
crowd  the  deck.  The  troops  not  wanted  at  the  guns,  or  to  assist  the 
sailors,  and  those  wTho  cannot  be  advantageously  employed  with  small 
arms,  will  be  formed  as  a  reserve  between  decks. 

839.  All  the  troops  will  turn  out  at A.  M.,  without  arms  or 

uniforms,  and  (in  warm  weather)  without  shoes  or  stockings;  when 
every  individual  will  be  clean,  his  hands,  face  and  feet  washed,  and  his 
hair  combed.  The  same  personal  inspection  will  be  repeated  thirty 
minutes  before  sunset.  The  cooks  alone  will  be  exempted  from  one  of 
these  inspections  per  day,  if  necessary. 

840.  Ilcvjruits  or  awkward  men  will  be  exercised  in  the  morning  and 
evening  in  the  use  of  arms,  an  hour  each  time,  when  the  weather  will 
permit. 

841.  Officers  will  enforce  cleanliness  as  indispensable  to  health. 
When  the  weather  will  permit,  bedding  will  be  brought  on  deck  every 
morning  for  airing.  Tubs  may  be  fixed  on  the  forecastle  for  bathing, 
or  the  men  may  be  placed  in  the  chains  and  have  buckets  of  water 
thrown  over  them. 

842.  Between  decks  will  not  be  washed  oftener  than  once  a  week,  and 
only  when  the  weather  is  tine.  The  boards  of  the  lower  berths  will  be 
removed  once  or  tjvice  a  week  to  change  the  straw.  Under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Surgeon  and  tho  officer  of  the  day,  frequent  fumigations  will 
be  performed  between  decks.  The  materials  required  are — common 
salt,  four  ounces  ;  powdered  oxide  of  manganese,  one  ounc^;  sulphuric 
acid,  one  ounce,  diluted  with  two  ounces  of  water.  The  diluted  acid  is 
poured  over  the  other  ingredients  in  a  basin  placed  in  a  hot  sand  bath. 
Solutions  of  chloride  of  lime  and  chloride  of  zinc  arc  excellent  disin- 
fecting agents.  .  - 

843.  During  voyages  in  hot  weather,  the  master  of  the  vessel  will  bo 
desired  to  provide  wind  sails,  which  will  be  kept  constantly  hung  up, 
and  frequently  examined}  to  see  that  they  draw  well  and  are  not  ob- 
structed. 

844.  During  cooking  hours,  the  officers  of  companies  visit  the  ca- 
boose, and  see  that  the  messes  arc  well  prepared.  The  coppers  and 
other  cooking  utensils  are  to  be  regularly  and  well  washed,  both  before 
and  after  use. 

845.  The  bedding  will  be  replaced  in  the  berths  at  sunset,. or  at  an 
earlier  hour  when   there  is  a  prospect  of  bad   weather  ;  and  at  tattoo' 
every  man  not  on  duty  will  be  in  his  berth.     To  insure  the  execution 
of  this  regulation,  the  officer  of  the  day;  with  a  lantern,  will  make  a 
tour  between  decks,  -

« 

846.  Lights  will  be  extinguished  at  tattoo,  except  such  as  are  placed 
under  sentinels.  The  officer- of  the  day  will  see  to  it,  and  report  to  the 
commanding  officer.  The  officers'  lights  will  he  extinguished  at  10 
o'clock,  unless  special  permission  be  given  to  continue  them  for  a  longer 
time,  as  in  case  of  sickness  or  other  emergency. 

847.  T?or  the  sake  of  exercise,  the  troops  will  be  occasionally  called 
to  quarters, by  the  beat  to  arms.  Those  appointed  to  the  guns  will  be 
frequently  exercised  in  the  use  of  them.  The  arms  and  accoutrements 
will  be  frequently  inspected.  The  metalic  parts  of  the  former  will  be 
often  wiped  and  greased  again. 

84b.  The  men  will  not  be  allowed  to  sleep  on  deck  in  hot  weather  or 
in  the  sun  ;  they  will  be  encouraged  and  required  to  take  exercise  on 
deck,  in  squads  by  succession,  when  necessary. 

•    849.  At  morning  and  evening  parades,  the  Surgeon  will  examine  the 
men,  to  observe  whether  there  be  any  appearance  of  disease 

850.  The  sick  will,  as.  far  as  practicable,  be  separated  from  the 
healthy  men.  On  the  first  appearance  of  malignant' contagion,  a  signal 
will  be  made  for  the  hospital  vessel,  (if  there  be  one  in  company,)  and 
the  diseased  men  removed  to  her. 

851.  A  good  supply  of  hospital  stores  and  medicines  will  be  taken  on 
each  vessel,  and  used  only  for  the  sick  and  convalescent. 

852.  The  Surgeon  will  guard  the  men  against  costiveness  on  ap- 
proaching a  hot  climate.  In  passing  through  the  West  Indies  to  the 
Southern  coast,  for  instance,  and  for  some  weeks  after  landing  in  those 
latitudes,  great  care  is  required  in  the  use  of  fruit,  as  strangers  would 
not  be. competent  to  judge  of  it,  and  most  kinds,  after  long  voyages,  are 
prejudicial. 

853.  In  harbor,  where  there  is  no  danger  from  sharks,  the  men  may 
bathe ;  but  not  more  than  ten  at  a  time,  and  attended  by  a  boat. 

854.  In  fitting  up  a  vessel  for  the  transportation  of  horses,  care  is  to 
be  taken  that  the  requisite  arrangements  are  made  for  conveniently 
feeding  and  cleaning  them,  and  to  secure  them  from  injury  in  rough 
weather  by  ropes  attached  to  breast-straps  and  breeching,  or  by  other 
suitable  means';  and  especially  that  proper  ventilation  is  provided  by 
openings  in  the  upper  deck,  wind-sails,  &c,.  The  ventilation  of  steam- 
ers may  be  assisted  by  using  the  engine  for  that  purpose. 

855.  Horses  should  not  be  put  on  board  after  severe  exercise,  or  when 
heated.  In  hoisting  them  on  board,  the  slings  should  be  made  fast  to 
a  hook  at  the  end  of  the  fall,  or  the  knot  tied  by  an  expert  seaman,  so 
that  it  may  be  well  secured  and  easily  loosened.  The  horse  should  be 
run  up  quickly  to  prevent  him  foom  plunging,  and  should  be  steadied 
by  guide  ropes.  A  halter  is  placed  on  him  before  he  is  lifted  from  the 
ground. 

856.  On  board,  care  is  to  be  taken  that  the  horses  are  not  over-fed ; 
bran  should  form  part  of  their  ration.  The  face,  eyes,  and  nostrils  of 
each  horse  are  to  be  washed  at  the  usual  stable  hours  ;  and  occasionally 
the  manges  should  be  washed  and  the  nostrils  of  the  horse  sponged  with 
vinegar  and  water. 

857.  In  loading  vessels  with  stores  for  a  military* expedition,  the 
cargo  of  each  should  be  composed  of  an  assortment  of  such  stores  as 
may  be  available  for  service  in  case  of  the  non-arrival  of  others,  and 
they  should  be  placed  on  board  in  such  a  manner  that  they  may  be

easily  reached,  in  the  order  in  -which  they  are  required  for  service. 
Each  Store-ship  (should  be  marked,  at  the  bow  and  stern,  on  both  sides, 
in  large  characters,  with  a  distinctive  letter  and  number.  A  list  is  to 
Ve  made  of  the  stores  on  board  of  each  vessel,  and  of  the  place  where 
they  are  to  be  found  in  it ;  a  copy  of  this  l.ist  to  be  sent  to  the  chief 
officer  of  the  proper  department  in  the  expedition,  or  at  the  place  of  des- 
tination.

862.  In  the  detail  "the  members  will  be  named,  and  they  will  take 
place  in  the  court,  in  the  order  of  their  rank.  A  decision  of  the  proper 
authority  in  regard  to  the  rank  of  the  members  cannot  be  reversed  by 
the  court. 

863.  The  place  of  holding  a  court  is  appointed  by  the  authority  con- 
vening.it. 

864.  Application  for  delay  or  postponement  of  trial  must,  when  prac- 
ticable, be  made  to  the  authority  convening  the  court.  When  made  to 
the  court,  it  must  be  before  plea,  and  will  then,  if  in  the  opinion  of 'the 
court  well  founded,  be  referred  to  the  authority  convening  the  court, 
to  decide  whether  the  court  shall  be  adjourned  or  dissolved,  and  the 
charges  reserved  for  another  court. 

865.  Upon  application  by  the  accused  for  postponement  on  the  ground 
of  absence  of  witness,  it  ought  distinctly  to  appear  on  his  oath,  1st,  that 


8fc  ( OURTS-MARTTAL. 

*the  witness  is  material,  and  how ;  2d,  that  the  accused  has  used  due 
diligence  to  procure  his  attendance,  and  3d,  that  he  has  reasonable 
ground  to  believe,  and  does  believe,  that  lie  will  be  able  to  procure  such 
attendance  within  a  reasonable  time  stated. 

860.  The  President  of  a  court-martial,  besides  his  duties  and  privi- 
leges as  member,  is  the  orgran  of  the  court,  to  keep  order  and  conduct 
its  business.  He  speaks  and  acts  for  the  court  in  each  case  where  the 
rule  has  been  prescribed  by  law,  regulation,  or  its  own  resolution.  In 
all  their  deliberations  the  law  .secures  the  equality  of  the  members. 

867.  The  76th  Article  of  War  does  not  confer  on  a  court-martial  the 
power  to  punish  its  own  members.  For  disorderly  conduct',  a  member 
is  liable  as  in  other  offences  against  military  discipline;  improper  words 
are  to  be  taken  down,  and  any  disorderly  conduct  of  a  member  reported 
to  the  authority  convening  the  court. 

868.  The  Judge  Advocate  shall  summon  the  necessary  witnesses  for 
the  trial  ;  but  he  shall  not  summon  any  witness  at  the  expense  of  the 
Confederate  States,  nor  any  officer  of  the  army,  without  the  order  of  the 
court,  unless  satisfied  that  his  testimony  is  material  and  necessary  to 
the  ends  of  justice.  • 

869.  Every  court-martial  shall  k§ep  a  complete  and  accurate  record 
of  its  proceedings,  to  be  authenticated  by  the  signatures  of  the  Presi- 
dent and  Judge  Advocate,  who  shall  also  certify,  in  like  manner,  the 
sentence  pronounced  by  the  court  in  each  case.  The  record  must  show 
that  the  court  was  organized  as  the  law  requires ;  that  the  court  and 

•Judge  Advocate  were  duly  sworn  in  the  presence  of  the  prisoner;  that 
he  was  previously  asked  whether  he  had  objection  to  any  member,  and 
his  answer  thereto.    A  copy  of  the  order  appointing  the  court  will  be 

'  entered  on  the  record  in  each  case. 

870.  Whenever  the  same  court-martial  tries  more  prisoners  than  one, 
and  they  are  arraigned  on  separate  and  distinct  chargesrthe  court  is  to 
be  sworn  at  the  commencement  of  each  trial,  and  the  proceedings  in 
each  case  will  be  made  up  separately. 

_  871.  .The  record  shall  be  clearly  and  legibly  written  ;  as  far  as  prac- 
ticable, 'without  erasures  or  interlineations,  the  pages  to  be  numbered, 
with  a  margin  of  one  inch  on  the  left  side  of  each  page,  and  at  the  top

dior  to  any  other  person,  and  the  receipt  of  such  person  will  not  be  a 
sufficient  Toucher  for  the  disbar  sing  offi^r.     Nor  can  a  soldier  be  re- 
quired to  receipt  for  money  paid  without  his  consent  to  another  person." 
The  law  prohibits  any  receipt  or  Toucher  in  accounts  of  public  money, 
unless  the  full  amount  of  the  receipt  is  paid  to  the  party  who  signed  it.

with  reference  to  Ordnance  Sergeants  and  Hospital  Stewards  as  in  the 
cases  of  other  enlisted  men.  When,  however,  an  Ordnance  Sergeant 
or  Hospital  Steward  is  sentenced  b'y  an  inferior  court  to  be  reduced  to

officer,  will  not  be  carried  into,  effect  until  the  case  has  been  referred 
to  the  Secretary  of  War  for  final  action.  In  these  cases  of  reduction, 
the  application  of  the  man  for  discharge  from  servi-.o,  though  not  re- 
cognized as  a  right,  wirl  generally  be  regarded  with  favor,  if  his  of- 
fence has  not  been  of  too  serious  a  nature,  and  especially  where  he  has 
not  been  recently  promoted  from  the  ranks. 

870.  The  Judge  Advocate  shall  transmit  the  proceedings,  without  do- 
lay,  to  the  officer  having  authority  to  confirm  the  sentence,  who  shall 
state,  at  the  end  of  the  proceedings  in  each  case,  his  decision  and  or- 
ders thereon. 

877.  The  original  proceedings  of  all  general  courts-martial,  after  the 
decision  on  them  of  the  reviewing  authority,  and  all  proceedings  that 
require  the  decision  of  the  President  under  the  G5th  and  89th  Articles 
of  War,  and  copies  of  all  orders  confirming  or  disproving,  or  remitting 
the  sentences  of  courts-martial,  and  all  official  communications  for  the 
Judge  Advocate  of  the  army,  will  be  addressed  to  "  "The  Adjutant  and 
Inspector-  General  of  the  Army,  War  Department"  marked  on  the  cover, 
"Judge  Ailcucale." 

878.  The  proceedings  of  garrison  and  regimental  courts-martial  will 
be  transmitted  without  delay,  by  the  garrison  or  regimental  comman- 
der, to  the  department  headquarters  for  the  supervision  of  the  depart- 
ment commander. 

87'.).  The  power  to  prtrdon  or  mitigate  the  punishment  ordered  by  a 
court-martial,  is  Tested  in  the  authority  confirming  the  proceedings, 
and  in  the  President  of  the  Confederate  States.*  A  superior  military 
commander  to  the  officer  confirming  the  proceedings  may  suspend  the 
execution  of  the -sentence  when,  in  his  judgment,  it  is  void  upon  the 
face  of  the  proceedings,  or  when  he  sees  a  fit  case  for  executive  clem- 
ency. In  such  cases,  the  record,  with  his  order  prohibiting  the  execu-. 
Jtion,  shall  be  transmitted  for  the  final  orders  of  the  President. 

880.  W4ien  a 'court-martial  or  court  of  enquiry  adjourns  without  day, 
the  members  will  return  fo  their  respective  posts  and  duties,  unless 
otherwise  ordered. 

881.- When  a  court  adjourns  for  three  days,  the  Judge  Advocate  shall 
report  the  fact  to  the  commander  of  the  post  or  troops,  and  the  mem- 
bers belonging  to  the  command  will  be  liable  to  duty  during  the  time.

SUBSISTENCE    DEPARTMENT. 
SUPPLIES. 

1097.  Subsistence  stores  for  the  array,  unless  in  particular  and  urgent 
cases  the  Secretary  of*  War  shall  otherwise  direct,  shall  be  procured  by 
contract,  to  be  made  by  the  Commissary-General  on  public  notice,  to  be 
delivered  on  inspection  in  the  bulk,  and  at  such  places  as  shall  be  stipu- 
lated ;  the  inspector  to  give  duplicate  infection  certificates  (see  Form 
No.  15),  and  to  be  a  legal  inspector  where  there  is  such  officer. 
*  1098.  Purchases,  to  supply  such  corps  and  posts  as  by  reason  of  their 
position,  the  climate,  or  for  other  sufficient  cause,  the  Secretary  of  War 
may  specially  direct  to  be  supplied  in  that  way,  will  be  made  in  open 
market,  on  public  notice,  from  the  lowest  bidder  who  produces  the  pro- 
per article. 

1099.  And  whenever  a  deficiency  of  subsistence  stores  make  it  neces- 
sary to  buy  them,  the  commissary,  where  they  are  needed,  will  make  a 
requisition  for  that  purpose  on  the  proper  purchasing  commissary,  or 
buy  them  himself,  of  good  quality,  corresponding  with  the  contract. 

1100.  When  subsistence  is  received  under  contract,  the  commissary 
will  receipt  for  it  on  the  inspection  certificates  (see  Form  No.  15.)  He 
will  deliver  one  of  these  to  the  contractor,  and  forward  the  other  to  the 
Commissary-General,  with  a  report  on  the  quality  of  the  provisions  and 
the  condition  of  the  packages. 

1101.  Whenever  subsistence  stores  are.purchased,  the  advertisements 
and  bids,  a*ncl  a  copy  of  the  bill  of  purchase,  with  a  statement  of  the 
cause  of  purchase,  willbe  forwarded  by  the  purchasing  officer  to  the 
Commissary-General.  This  rule  does  not  apply  to  the  ordinary  pur- 
chase of  hospital  supplies.  Purl*  salt  beef,  and  flour  must  be  inspected, 
before  purchase  by  a  legal  inspector  where  there  is  such  officer.  Dupli- 
cate certificates  of  inspection  (see  Form  No.  15)  will  be  taken  as  sub- 
vouchers  to  the  voucher^ for  the  payment. 

1102.  Fresh  beef,  when  it  can  be  procured,  shall  be  furnished  as  often 
ns  the  commanding  officer  may  order,  at  least  twice  a  week,  to  be  pro- 
cured by  the  commissary,  when  practicable,  fey  contract.  -(For  form  of 
contract  and  bond,  see  Forms  27  and  28.  When  beef  is  takeh  on  the 
hoof,  it  will  be  accounted  Tor  on'the  provision  return  by  the  number  of 
cattle  and  their  estimated  weight.  When,  the  pasture  is  insufficient, 
hay,  corn,  and  other  forage  will  be  procured  for  public  cattle. 

1103.  Good  and  sufficient  store-room  for  the  subsistence  stores  will 
be  procured  by  the  commissary  from  the  Quartermaster.  Care  shall  be 
taken  to  keep  the  store-rooms  dry  and  ventilated.  Packages  shall  be  so 
stored  as  to  allow  circulation  of  air  among  and  beneath  them.  The 
flour  should  occasionally  be  rolled  into  the  air. 

1104.  Before  submitting  damaged  commissary  stores  to  boards  of  sur- 
vey, the  commissary  shall  separate  and  re-pack  sound  pswts. 

1105.  Wastage  on  issues,  or  from  evaporation  or  leakage,  will  be  as- 
certained quarterly,  or  when  it  can  be  most  conveniently  ;  and  the  ac- 
tual wastage  thus  found  will  be  charged  on  the  monthly  return.  Loss, 
from  whatever  cause,  exceeding  ordinary  waste,  must  be.accounted  for 
by  the  certificate  of  an  '  officer,  or  other  satisfactory  evidence.  Ordi- 
nary waete  on  issues  should  not  exceed-say  10  per  ce^.  on  pork,  bacon.

company  detachment,  or  regiment,  directly  from  the  butcher?  But  in 
beef  on  the  hoof,  errors  in  estimated  weight,  and  losses  on  cattle  stray- 
ed or  stolen,  will  he  accounted  for  bj  the  certificate  of  an  officer,  or 
other,  satisfactory  evidence.     When  cattle  are   tra  .  they  should 

be  appraised,  and  loss  in  weight  reported  as  wastage  by  the  officer  de- 
livering them.  Fair  wastage  in  transportation  of  stores  is  accounted 
for  by  the  receiving  officer. 

TOE    RATION. 

1107.  The  ration  is  three-fourths  of  a  pound  of  pork  or  bacon,  or  one 
and  a  fourth  pounds  of  fresh  or  salt  Beef;  eighteen  ounces  of  brea  "

'ES. 

1110.  Returns  for  issues  to  companies,  will,  vvhen  practicable,  bo  con- 
solidated for  the  post  or  regiment  (see  Form  14).  AT  the  end  of  the. 
month,  the  issuing  commissary  will  make  duplicate  sta  of  the 
issues,  which  the  commanding  officer  will  compare  with  the  original 
returns,  and  certify  (see  Form  2).  This  abstract-  is  a  voucher  of  the 
issue  for  the  monthly  return.                         ^ 

1111.  Issues  to  the  hospital  will  be  on  returns  by  the  me  ileal  officer, 
for  such  provisions  only  as  are  actual lyrequired  for  tin-  sick  and  the 
attendants.  The  cost  of  such  parts  of  the  ration  as  are-is  led  will  he  . 
charged  to  the  hospital  at  contract  or  cost  price-.,  and  the  >spital  will 
be  credited  by  the  whole  number  of  complete  rations  due  hrough  the 
month  at  Contract  or  cost  prices  (see  Note  7);  the  balance,  constituting 
the  Hospital  Fund,  r  any  portion  of  it,  may  be  expended  >y  the  com- 
missary, on  the  requisition  of  the  medical  0  I  cer,  in  the  pur<  haseof  any 
article  for  the  subsistence  or  comfort  of  the  sick,  not  auto*  rized  to  be 
otherwise  furnished  (see  Form  3).  At  large  de -otsor  general  hospitals, 
this  fund  may  be  partly  expended  for  the  benefit  of  dependent  po* 
detachments,  on  requisitions  approved  by  the  me  licaJ  director  or  senior 
Surgeon  of  the  district. 

1112-  The  articles  purchased  fbr  the  hospital,  as  well  as  those  issued

ficer commanding  the  company  must  make  a  report  to  the  commanding- 
officer  of  the  post  where  the  women  may  be  left,  designating  such  as

■where  there  are  supplies. 

1115.  When  provisions  can  be  spared  from  the  military  sappljes, 
commanding  officers  have  discretion  to  order  issues  to  Indians  visiting, 
military  posts  on  the  frontiers,  or  in  their  respective  nations,  and  to

returns  for  issues,  where  there  is  no  Indian  agent,  will  be  signed  by  the 
commanding  officer.  The -sales  will  be  for  cash,  at  cost,  including  all

ment find  anti-scorbutics  necessary  rbr  the  health  of  the  troops,  the  com- 
manding officer  may  order  issues  of  fres-h  vegetables,  pickled  onions, 
sour  krout  or  molasses,  with  an  extra  > quantity  of  rice  and  vinegar,

©nions  at  the  rate  of  three  bushels  in  lieu  of  one  of  beans.)  Occasional 
issues  (extra)  of  molasses  are  made — two  quarts  to  one  hundred  rations 
— and  of  dried  apples,  of  from  one  to  one  and  a  half  bushels  to  on© 
hundred  rations.  Troops  at  sea  are  recommended  to  draw  rice  and  an 
extra  i.-sue  of  molasses  in  lieu  of  beans.  When  anti-scorbutics  are  is- 
sued, the  medical  officer  will  certify  the  necessity,. and  the  circumstances- 
which  cause  it,  upon  the  abstract  of  extra  issues,  (see  Form  4). 

1118.  When  men  reave  their  company,  the  rations  they  have  drawn, 
and  left  with  it,  will  be  deducted  from  the  next  return  for  the  company; 
a  like  rule  when  men  are  discharged  from  the  hospital  will  govern  tha 
hospital  return..

panies, in  the  service  of  the  Confederate  States,  such  articles  or  parts 
of  the  rations  as  are  not  drawn,  nor  consumed.  But  this  applies  only 
to  such  articles  as  were"  actually  issued  and  not  consumed,  or  would  ac-  t 
tually  have  been  issued,  ana  does  not  apply  to  such  parts  of  the  ration 
as  the  Commissary  does  not  habitually  have  on  hand  for  issue. 

1L44.  The  accounts  for  such  purchases  will  be  made  in  duplicate,  (see 
Form  No.  19,)  and  the  articles  will  be  taken  up  by  the  Commissary  on 
his  monthly  return,  as  if  it  were  an  original  purchase.  The  money  paid 
to  the  Captains  constitutes  a  company  kind.  •

tence will  be  sent  to  the  Commissary  General's  office  through  the  prin-

must  he  named  therein  with  particularity.  Where  the  form  is  pre- 
scribed it  will  be  followed  ;  in  all  cases  contracts  must  be  drawn  up 
and  executed  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  law.  Every  contract, 
whether  for  services  or  for  the  furnishing  of  supplies,  which  contem- 
plates a  partial  performance,  from  time  to  time,  continuing  until  the 
whole  duty  is  performed,  or  the  whole  delivery  of  the  enumerated  arti- 
cles is  effected,  must  provide  in  express  terms  for  its  earlier  termina- 
tion, if  the  Commissary-General  shall  so  direct. 

1146.  Estimates  for  funds  must  be  rendered  in  duplicate. 

1147.  In  order  te  establish  an  invariable  rule  for  ascertaining  the 
nett  weight  of  beef  cattle  received  on  the  hoof,  the  following  mode  is 
adopted,  j-ncl  for  the  future,  in  all  cases  will  be  observed  : 

1.  When  practicable,  cattle  presented  for  acceptance  must  be  weighed 
upon  the  scales.  From  the  live  weight  of  a  steer,  thus  ascertained,  his 
nett  weight  shall  be  determined  by  deducting  forty  five  per  centum, 
when  his  gross  weight  exceeds  thirteen  hundred  (1300)  pounds,  and 
fifty  per  centum  when  it  is  less  than  that,  and  not  under  eight  hundred 
(800)  pounds. 

2.  When  it  is  impracticable  to  weigh  upon  the  scales,  one  or  more 
average  steers  must  be  selected,  killed  and  dressed  in  the  usual  manner. 
The  average  nett  weight  of  these  (neck  and  shanks*  excluded)  will  be 
accepted  as  the  average  nett  weight  of  the  herd.  In  all  written  instru- 
ments for  the  delivery  of  cattle  on  the  hoof,  the  manner  prescribed 
above,  for  ascertaining  nett  weight,  must,  in  express  terms,  be  inserted; 
in  verbal  agreements,  it  must  be  understood  and  accepted  by  the  party 
delivering  the  cattle.  Vouchers  for  the  payments  of  cattle  will  s^ate 
the  manner  pursued  in  determining  their  nett  weight,  except  where 
payment  has  been  made  on  the  certificate  of  an  officer,  in  which  case 
the' certificate  will  state  the  nude  followed. 

3.  With  a  view  to  the  prevention  of  losses,  now  so  frequently  occur- 
ring, from  over,-estimatiug  the  weight  of  cattle  received  on  the  hoof, 
the  serious  attention  of  officers  and  agents  serving  in  this  department, 
is  specially  called  to  the  exercise  of  greater  care  In  the  discharge  of 
this  important  duty. 

1148.  When  fresh  beef  can  be  provided,  it  will  be  issued  to  the  troops 
five  times  per  week.  When  the  circumstances  are  favorable,  and  it  can 
be  done  with  advantage  to  the  Government,  the  Subsistence  Department 
will  keep  beef  cattle  to  supply  the  issues. 

1149.  The  following  issues  and  substitutions  maybe  made:  When, 
from  excessive  fatigue  or  exposure,  the  commanding  officer  may  deem 
it.neees-ary,  he  may  direct  the  issue  of  whiskey  to  the  enlisted  men  of 
his  command,  not  to  exceed  a  gill  per  man  for  each  day.  Tea  may  be 
issued  in  lieu  of  coffee,  at  the  rate  of  one  and  a  half  pounds  per  one 
hundred  rations.  Two  *•  issues"  per  week  of  "desiccated  vegetables," 
may  be  made  in  lieu  of  "  beans"  or  "  rice."  Potatoes  and  onions,  when 
issued,  will  always  be  in  lieu  of  rice  or  beans.  Potatoes  at  the  rate  of 
a  pound  per  ration  ;  onions  at  the  rate  of  three  pecks  per  hundred  ra- 
tions.

be  furnished  by  the  Quarterma?  partment,  where  he  is  required 

to  accompany  troops  on  marches  or  transport-.  But  a  private  physician 
will  not  be  employed  to  accompany  I  n  marches  or  transit  r;s,  ex- 

cept by  orders  from  the  War  Department,  or,  in  particular  and  urgent 
cases,  by  the  order  of  the  officer  directing  the  movemer  t. 

1201.  And  when  a  private  physiciau  is  required  to  fui  nish  medicine?,

th»  >n  General,,  on  the  amount  "allowed  by  contra<t. 

1202.  In  all  cases,  a  duplicate  of  the  contract,  wi  h  a  particular

transmitted  forthwith  to  the  Surgeon  General  for  approval  ;  and  the 
commanding  officer  for  the  time  being  will  at  once  discontinue  it,  when-

geon General  for  payment,  vouched  by  the  certificate  of  the.  command- 
ing officer,  that  it  is-correct  and  agreeable  to  contract,, and  that  the  ser-

and  charge  for  each  visit,  and  for  medicines,  'the  physician  will  make 
a  certificate  to  the  account  in  case  of  an  officer,  or  affidavit  in  c-f-e  of  an 
enlisted  ma*?,  that  the  account  is  correct,  and  the  charges  are  the  cus- 
tomary charges  of  the  place.  • 

1207,  The  officer  will  make  his  certificate,  or  1  he  enlisted  man  his  af- 
fidavit, to  the  correctness  of  the  account,  that  he  was  <  n  service  at  the 
place,  and  stating  the  circumstances  preventing  him  from  receiving  the 

services  of  a  medical  officer. 

,1208.    \\  hen  the  charge  is  against  an  officer,  he  will  pay  the  ac< 
if  practicable,  and   transmit  it   to  the    Medical  Bureau   for  reimburse- 
ment.    In  all  other  cases,  the  account  will  be  transmitted  to  the  Medi- 
cal Bureau  for  settlement.

physician  will  make  the  affidavit,  before  required  to  the  account,  and 
that  he  has  been  paid  no  part  of  it. 

1210.  No  charges  for  consultation  fees  will  be  paid  by  the  Medical 
Bureau  ;  nor  will  any  account  for  medical  attendance  or  medicines  be

1211.  A  board  of  not  less  than,  three  medical  officers  will  be -Appoint- 
ed from  time  to  time,  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  to  examine  applicants: 
for  appointment  of  assistant  surgeons  in  the  regular  army,  and  assis- 
tant surgeons  for  promotion.  And  no  one  shall  be  appuinted  or  pro- 
moted until  so  examined  and  found  qualified. 

1212.  The  board  will  seratiaiae  rigidly  the  moral  habits,  profession- 
al acquirements,  and  physical  qualifications  of  the  candidates,  and  re- 
port favorably,  either  for  appointment  or  promotion,  in  no  ease  admit- 
ting of  a  reasonable  doubt; 

1213.  The  Secretary  of  War  will  designate  the  applicants  to  be  es- 
amined  for  appointment  of  assistant  surgeon.  They  must  he  between. 
21  and  25  years  of  age.  The  board  will  report  their  respeefive  merits 
in  the  several  branches  of  the  examination,  and  their  relative  meris 
from  the  whole;  agreeably  whereto,  if  vacancies  happen  within  two 
years  thereafter  they  will  receive  appointments  and  take  rank  in  the 
medical  corps. 

121^.  When  ah  assistant  surgeon  has  served  fine  years,  he  is  subject 
to  be  examined  for  promotion.  If  he  decline  the  examination,  or  be 
found  not  qualified  by  moral  habits  or  professional  acquirements,  her

1215.  An  applicant  for  appointment  tailing  at  one  examination,  may 
be  allowed  a  second  after  two  years  ;  but  never  a  third. 

1216.  The  Secretary  of  War  will  appoint,  on  the  recommendation  of 
the  Surgeon  General,  from  the  enlisted  men  of  the  army,  or  cause  to  be 
enlisted,  as  many  competent  hospital  stewards  as  the  service  may*  re- 
quire. 

1217.  The  senior  medical  officer  of  a  command  requiring  'a  steward, 
may  recommend  a  competent  non-commissioned  officer  or  soldier  to  be 
appointed,,  which  recommendation  the  commanding  officer  shall  firward 
to  tlft  Adjutant  and  Inspector-General  of  the  army,  with  his  remarks 
thereon,  and  with  the  remarks  of  the'  company  commander. 

1218.  When  no  competent  enlisted  man  can  be  procured,  the  medical 
officer  will  report  the  fact  to  the  Surgeon  General.  •  Applications  and 
testimonials  of  competency,  from  persons  seeking' to  be  enlisted  for  hos- 
pital stewards,  may  be  addressed  to  the  Surgeon  General. 

1219.  The  commanding  officer  m^y  re-enlist  a  hospital  steward  at  the 
expiration  of  his  terms  of  service,  on  the  recommendation  of  the  medi- 
cal officer. 

1220  No  soldier,  or  citizen,  will  be  recommended  for  appointment 
who  is  not  known  to  be  temperate,  honest,  and  in  every  way  reliable,  as 
well  as  sufficiently  intelligent,  and  skilled  in  pharmacy,  for  the.proper 
discharge  of  the  responsible  duties  likely  to.be  devolved  upon  him. 
Until  this  is  knmvn,  he  will  be  appointed  as  acting  steward  by  the  med- 
ical officer,  with  the  approval -or  the  commanding  officer,  and  will  be 
entitled  to  the  pay  and  allowances  of  hospital  steward. 

1221.  Hospital  stewards,  appointed  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  whenever 
stationed  in  places  whence  no  post  return  is  made  to  the  Adjutant  Ge- 
neral's office,  or  when  on  furlough,  will,  at  the  end  of  every  month,  re- 
port themselves,  by  letter,  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector-General  and 
Surgeon  General,  as  well  as  to  the  Medical  Director  of  the  military  de- 
partment in  which  they  may  be  serving;  to  each  of  wliom  they  will 
also  report  each  new  assignment  to  duty,  or  change  of  station,  ordered

heir  case,  noting  carefully  the  number,  date,  an<I  .source  of  the  order 
directing'the  same.  They  will  likewise  report  monthly,  when  oa  fur- 
lough, to  the  Medical  officer  in  charge  of  the  hospital  to  which  they 
are  attached. 

1222.  The  jurisdiction  and  authority  of  courts  martial jire  the  same 
with  reference   to   hospital   stewards  as  in  t!:;^   cases  of  other  enlisted 

n.  When,  however,  a  hospital  steward  is.  sentenced  by  an  inferior 
court  to  be  reduced  to  the  ranks,  such  sentence,  though  it  may  lie  ap- 
proved by  the  reviewing  officer,  will  not  he  carried  into  effect  until  the 
case  has   been   n  I  to  the  Secretary  of  War  for   final   action.     In 

these  cases  of  reduction,  the  application  of  the  man  for  discharge  from 
service,  though  not  recognized  as  of  right,  will  generally  be  regarded  with 
favor,  if  his  offence  has  not  been  of  too  serijus  a  nature,  ani  especially 
when  he  has  not  been  recently  promoted  from  the  ranks. 

1223.  As  tlic  hospital  steward?,  appointed  by  the  Secretary  of  War, 
are  permanently  attached  t»  the  Medical  Department,  their  accounts  of 
pay,  clothing,  EC,  must  be  kept  by  the  medical  officers  under  whose 
immediate  direction  ttoey  are  serving,  who  are  also  responsible 'for  cer- 
tified statements  of  each  accounts,  and  correct  descriptr.  e  lists  of  such 
stewards,  to  accompany  them  in  case  of  transfer;  as,  alsn,  that  their 
final  statements  and  certificates  of  discharge  are  accurately  made  out, 
when  they  are  at  length  discharged  from  service,

commander  of  the  regiment  or  post  to  send  them  to  the  nearest  or  most 
convenient  arsenal  with  a  requisition  for  immediate  repair  ;  but  in  no 
case  shall  such  unserviceable  small  arms  and  accoutrements  be  ex-

otherwise  require. 

1299.  In  all  cases  in  which  ordnance  or  ordnance  stores  are  lost  or 
damaged  by  the  negligence  or  misconduct  of  any  officer,  cadet,  or  en-

it  shall  be  the  duty  of  any  military  officer  to  whom,  the  facts  shall  be- 
come known,  either  personally  or  on  creditable  report,  to  communicate

of  such  depot  shall  give  a  receipt,  stating  their  condition. 

1305.  Surplus  ordnance  and  ordnance- stores,  at  any  military  ^post, 
not  an  ordnance  depot,  which  are  considered  by  the  commanding  officer

period  less  than  three  months,  it  shall  not  be  obligatory  on  him  to  take  re- 


ORDNANCE   DEPARTMENT.  299

tion, either  close  his  accounts  »r  place  the  ordnance  or  ordnance  stores 
under  charge  of  the  officer  next  in  command,  who  shall  in  that  case,  do 
nil  duty  in  regard  to  said  ordnance  or  ordnance  stores  in  the  name  of 
said  absent  officer,  until  his  retti  n  to  the  command  or  post.

arsenal,  depot,  or  post,  to  examine  the  state  of  the  funds,  ordnance  or 
ordnance  stores,  for  which  said  officer  or  agent  was  accountable.  The 
board  will  make  a  report  in  duplicate,  in  the  same  order  of  classification 
as  in  Par.  1365,  stating  the  kinds,  quantity,  and  condition  of  said  ord- 
nance or  ordnance  stores,  and  the  amount  of  funds  on  hand,  which  re- 
port will  be  immediately  transmitted  to  the  Chief  of  Ordnance  ;  the  du- 
plicate will  be  handed  to  the  successor  of  the  deceased.

retain  in  store,  and  exhibit  on  his  quarterly  returns  of  property,  the 
regulation  arm  chests  hereinafter  mentioned,  in  which  all  arms  and  ac- 
coutrements, not  in  the  hands  of  the  troops,  shall  be  at  all  times  securely 

packed  for  preservation,  viz  :  to  each  company  of  infantry,  and  to  each

detachment,  shall  be  responsible  that  all  surplus  chests  or  case?,  other 
than  packing  boxes,  in  which  arms  or  other  ordnance  stores  have  been 
conveyed  to  his  command  are  carefully  preserved.  They  will  be  re- 
ceipted for  and  entered  upon  the  property  returns  as  other  stores,  and, 

'in  like  manner,  reported  to  the  Ordnance  Bureau. 

1311.  Every  officer  commanding  a  permanently  embodied  regiment, 
or  a  company,  garrison  or  detachment,  shall  make  a  report  every  two 
months  to  the  Ordnance  Bureau,  stating  all  damages  to  arms,  equip- 
ments, and  implements  belonging  to  his  command,  noting  those  occa-

gence or  abuse  the  said  damages  were  occasioned  ;  which  reports  shall 
be  consolidated  by  the  Chief  of  Ordnance,  and  transmitted  with  his  re- 
marks and  orders  thereon,  every  six  months,  to  the  superintendents  of 
the  national  armories  and  inspecting  officers  of  the  Ordnance  Bureau, 
in  order  to  ascertain  and  correct  any  defects  which  may  exist  in  the 
manufacture  of  arms. 

UNSERVICEABLE   ORDNANCE    STORES. 

1312.  Whenever  ordnance  or  ordnance  stores  are  reported  unser- 
viceable, they  shall  be  examined  by  an  Inspector  General,  or  some  other 
officer  specially  designated  by  the*  Secretary  of  War  for.  that  purpose, 
who  will  note  on  the  inventory  such  as  he  condemns  and  such  as  he  con- 
siders repairable.  (See  form  No.  13.)  lie  shall  recommend  the  stores 
condemned  by  him  either  to  be  broken  up  at  the  arsenal,  depot,  or  mili- 
tary post,  or,  to  be  sold,  as  may  be  deemed  most  advantageous  to  the  pub- 
lic servico;  but  should  it  appear  to  the  inspector  that  the  ordnance  or 


300  ORDNANCE  DEPARTMENT. 

ordnance  stores  condemned  are  of  too  little  value  to  cover  the  expense  of 
sale  or  breaking  up,  lie  shall  recommend  them  to  be  dropped  from  the 
return  as  useless.  Such  arms  and  stores  as  the  inspector  may  consider 
repairable  he  shall  direct  either  to  be  repaired  at  the  arsenal,  depot,  or 
military  post,  or  to  be  transported  to  the  nearest  or  most  convenient 
arsenal  or  depot  of  construction  or  repairs.  The  list  of  condemned  stores 
(see  form  No.  10)  with  the  remarks  and  opinion  of  the  inspector,  shall  be 
made  in  duplicate,  and  forwarded  to  the  Chief  of  Ordnance  for  the  fur- 
ther action  of  the  President  of  the  Confederate  States.  The  inventory 
shall  be  left  with  the  officer  having  charge  of  the  ordnance  and  ord- 
nance stores. 

1313.  All  articles  condemned  and  ordered  for  sale  by  the  President 
of  the  Confederate  States  shall  be  disposed  of  at  public  auction,  under 
the  superintendence  of  such  officers  as  may  be  designated  for  that  pur- 
pose by  the  Chief  of  Ordnance,  due  public  notice  being  given  of  the 
Sale.  An  authorized  auctioneer  shall  bo  employed,  and  the  sale  shall  be 
conducted  in  conformity  with  the  established  usages  of  the  place  where 
made. 

1314.  An  officer  directing  a  sale  of  unserviceable  ordnance  stores  will 
cause  the  articles  to  be  offered  in  such  lots  as  he  may  think'  will  com- 
mand the  best  prices  ;  and  he  is  authorized  to  bid  in  or  suspend  the 
sale  of  any  articles  when,  in  his  opinion,  they  will  command  better  prices 
at  private  sale.  No  article  shall  be  sold  at  private  sale  until  after  it 
shall  have  been  offered  at  auction,  nor  then  at  a  price  less  than  that 
offered  at  public  sale. 

1315.  All  sales  shall  be  for  cash.  The  auctioneer  shall  make  certain 
bills  of  sale  of  the  property  and  deliver  them  to  the  superintending  offi- 
cer, to  whom  the  money  shall  be  paid  on  delivery  of  the  property.  All 
expenses  of  the  sale  shall  be  paid  from  the  proceeds.  The  auctioneer's 
certified  account  of  sales  in  detail,  and  the  vouchers  for  the  expenses  of 
the  sale,  shall  be  forwarded  to  the  ordnance  office  unconnected  with 
quarterly  accounts,  whence,,  after  examination  and  record,  they  shall  bo 
transmitted  to  the  proper  auditor  for  settlement;  the  nett  proceeds  of 
the  sale  shall  be  disposed  of  in  such  manner  as  the  Chief  of  Ordnance 
shall  direct.

RATE   STATES. 

1316.  Whenever  any  regiment,  or  company  or  detachment  of  militia 
shall  be  called  into  the  service  of  the  Confederate  States,  they  are  mus- 
tered and  inspected  by  an  inspector  general,  or  some  duly  authorized 
officer  of  the  regular  troops,  who  shall  ascertain  the  condition  of- the 
arms,  accoutrements,  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores  in  their  possession, 
and  if  it  should  be  found  necessary  to  supply  them  with  arms  and  accou- 
trements, or  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores,  belonging  to  the  Confederate 
States,  the  commander  thereof  shall  make  requisition  for  the  articlesre- 
quired,  according  to  form  No.  25,  which  if  sanctioned  by  the  inspecting 
officer,  shall  be  submitted  for  approval  or  modification  to  the  commander 
of  the  regular  troops  present  or  in  the  vicinity  ;  and  upon  such  requisi- 
tion duly  approved  by  such  commander,  any  officer  or  agent  of  the  Ord- 
nance Bureau  may  issue  the  articles  required  taking  duplicate  receipts 
therefor,  one  of  which  shall  be  forwarded  to  the  Chief  of  Ordnance,  in 


ORDNANCE   DEPARTMENT.  301

officer  who  received  them.  And  the  commander  of  such  regiment,  bat- 
talion, company  or  detachment  shall  be  held  responsible  for  the  care 
and  preservation  of  the  articles  thus  received,  and  that  the  arms  and 
accoutrements  are  issued  to  the  men  constituting  his  command,  and 
that  each  individual  is  charged  on  the  muster  roll  with  the  actual  num- 
ber of  arms  and  accoutrements  delivered  to  him  ;  and  the  same  shall  be 
entered  upon  each  successive  muster  roll  until  the  men  shall  be  dis- 
charged. 

1317.  When  any  militia  are  about  to  be  discharged,  they  are  mus- 
tered-for  payment  by  an  inspector  general,  or  some  other  duly  authori- 
sed officer  of  the  regular  troops,  who  shall,  at  the  same  time,  critically 
inspect  thenrms  and  accoutrements  in  their  possession,  in  order  to  as- 
certain if  any  loss  or  damage  has  accrued  to  them  whilst  in  their  pos- 
session, either  by  negligence  or  carelessness:  and  if  any,  shall  charge 
the  amount  of  said  loss  or  damage,  according  to  the  rates  established  by 
the  Ordnance  Bureau,  to  each  individual,  opposite  to  his  name  on  the 
muster  roll,  which  amount  the  paymaster  shall  deduct  from  the  pay  due 
each  individual  at  the  time  of  his  discharge.  And  it  shall  be  the  duty 
of  the  inspecting  officer,  or  of  an  officer  of  the  Ordnance  Bureau,  at  the 
time  of  muster  and  inspection  for  discharge,  to  receive  the  arms  and  ac- 
coutrements, ordnance  and  ordnance  stores,  in  the  possession  of  the 
regiment,  battalion,  company  or  detachment,  and  to  give  duplicate  re- 
ceipts for  the  same  to  the  commander  thereof,  in  order  that  he  may  set- 
tle his  accounts  with  the  Ordnance  Bureau. 

1318.  No  payments  shall  be  made  to  any  militia  called  into  the  ser- 
vice of  the  Confederate  States  until  they  shall  have  been  mustered,  and 
shall  have  delivered  up  their  arms  and  accoutrements,  as  set  forth  in 
the  preceding  article,  unless  they  were  absent  by  reason  of  sickness,  or 
some  other  justifiable  cause,  at  the  time  of  the  muster  and  inspection 
for  discharge  ;  and  in  such  case  they  shall  produce  receipts  to  the  pay- 
master that  they  have  deposited  their  arms  and  accoutrements  with 
some  officer  authorized  to  receive  them,  who  shall  state  in  the  receipts 
the  condition  of  the  arms  and  accoutrements,  and  the  amount  of  loss 
or  damage,  (if  any  has  accrued  whilst  the  same  were  in  their  posses- 
sion,) according  to  the  rates  established  by  the  Ordnance  Bureau,  which 
amount  the  paymaster  shall  deduct  from  the  pay  due  them  at  the  time 
of  their  discharge. 

1319.  In  all  cases  when  arms,  accoutrements,  ordnance,  or  ordnance

militia,  called  into  the  service  of  the  Confederate  States,  shall  have 
been  lost  by  unavoidable  circumstances,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  in- 
specting officer,  who  shall  muster  and  inspect  the  same  for  discharge,  to 
require  the  affidavit  of  some  officer  or  non-commissioned  officer,  testify- 
ing to  the  unavoidable  circumstances  of  the  loss,  and  such  affidavit,  if 
deemed  satisfactory,  shall  be  sufficient  authority  for  the  inspecting  offi- 
cer to  relieve  the  individual  who  shall  have  been  charged  with  the  loss 
from  all  charges  on  account  of  such  loss,  which  shall  fce  entered  with 
the  affidavit  on  the  proper  muster  roll.  .

arms  and  accoutrements,  when  ordered,  xill  be  sent  direct  to  each  sta- 
tion. 

1390.  The  superintendents  will  transmit  to  the  Adjutant  Inspector 
General  consolidated  monthly  returns  of  the  recruiting  parties  under 
their  superintendence,  according  to  directions  on  the  printed  blanks, 
accompanied  by  one  ci>ny  of  the  enlistment  of  each  recruit,  enlisted 
within  the  month.  Also  a«quarterly  return  of  decease  1  soldiers  to  the 
Adjutant  and  Inspector#Jeneral  and  Secoud  Auditor. 

i391.  When  recruits  should  be  sent  to  regiments,  a  superintendent 
•toll  report  to  the*  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  for  instructions  in 
reference  thereto.  •  . 

1392.  When  recruits,  are  sent  from  a  depot  or  rendezvous  to  a  regi- 
ment or  pos£,  a  muster  and  descriptive  roll,  and  an  account  of  clothing  of 
the  detachment,  will  be  given  to  the  officer  assigned  to  the  command  of 
it;  and  a  duplicate  of  the  muster  and  descriptive  roll  will  be  forwarded 
to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  by  the  superintendent,  who  will, 
note  on  it  the  names  of  all  the>  officers  on  duty  with  the  detachment, 
and  the  day  of,  its  departure  from  the  depot  or  rendezvous. 

1393.  The  superintendent  will  report  all  commissioned  or  non-com- 
missioned officers  who  may  be  incapable  or  negligent  in  th  •  di>o«aige 
of  their  functions.  Where  a  recruiting  party  fails  to  get  r  omits  from 
any  cause  other  than  the  fault  of  the  officer,  the  superinte  ident  will 
recommend  another  station  for  the  party. 

1394.  When  a  rendezvous  is  closed,  the  superintendent  will  give  'e

1395.  Tours  of  inspection  by  superintendents  will  be  made  only  on 
instructions  from  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's  Office.     Officers

orders  from  the  same  source. 

DUTIES   OF    RECRUITING   OFFICER 

1396.  Success  in  obtaining  recruits  depends  much  on  the  activity  and 
personal  attention  of  recruiting  officers,  and  they  will  not  entrust  to  en- 
listed men  the  duties  for  which  themselves  only  are  responsible.  They 
will  in  no  case  absent  themselves  from  their  stations  without  authority 
from  the  superintendent.  ,      ' 

1397.  Recruiting  officers  will  not  allow  any  man  to  be  deceived  or 
inveigled  into  the  service  by  false  representations,  but  will  in  person 
explain  the  nature  of  the  service,  the  length  of  the  term,  the  pay,  cloth-' 
ing,  rations,  and  other  allowances,  to  which  a  soldier  is  entitled  by  law, 
to  every  man  before  he  signs  the  enlistment.  If  minors  present  them- 
selves, they  are  to  be  treated  with  great  candor;  the  names  and  resi- 
dences of  their  parents  or  guardians,  if  they  have  any,  must  be  ascer- 
tained, and  they  will  be  informed  of  the  minors  wish  to  enlist,  that 
they  may  make  their  objections  or  give  their  consent. 

1398.  With  the  sanction  of  superintendents,- recruiting  officers  mav 
insert  in  not  exceeding  two  newspapers,  brief  notices  directing  atten- 
tion to  the  rendezvous  for  further  information.

of  the  recruit,  shall  not  extend  to  musician*5,  or  to  soldiers  who  may 
"re-enlist,"  or  have  served  honestly  and  faithfully  a  previous  enlist- 
ment in  the  army.  •  * 

1400.  No  person  under  the  age  of  twenty-one  years  is  to  be  enlisted 
without  the  written  consent  of  his  parent?,  guardian,  or  master.  The 
recruiting  officer  must  be  very  particular  in  Iscertaijiiug  the  true  age 
<>f  the  recruit,  and  will  not  accept  him  when  there  is  a  doubt  of  hi? 
being  of  age, 

1401.,  After  the  nature  of  the  service  and  terms  of  enlistment  have 
been  fairly  explained  to  the  recruit,  thy  officer,  before  the  enlistments 
ji<-e  filled  up,  will  read  to  him,  and  offer  for  his  signature,  the-  annexed 
declaration,  to  be  appended  to  each  copy  of  his  enlistment: 

I, -,  desiring  to  enlist  in^the  Army  of  the  Confederate  States 

for  the  period  of  five  years,  do  declare ,that  I  am years  and ■ 

inonthri  of  age;  that  I  have  neither  wife  nor  child  ;  that  I  have  never 
been  discharged  from  the  Confederate  States  service  on  account  of  dis- 
ability, or  by  a  sentence  of  a  court  martial,  or  by  order  before  the  expi- 
ration of  a  term  of  enlistment;  and  I  know  of  no  impediment  to  my 
serving  honestly  and  faithfully  as  a  soldier  for  live  years,

I,  A —  B — ,  do  solemnly  swear  or  affirm,  (as  the  case  may  be,)  that 
1  will  bear  true  allegiance  to  the  Confederate  States  of  America,  and 
(hat  I  will  serve  them  honestly  and  faithfully  against  all  their  enemies 
or  opposers  whatsoever,  and  observe  and  obey  the  orders  of  the  Presi? 
dent  of  the  Confederate  States,  and  the  orders  of  the  officers  appointed

RECRUITING    SERVICE.  S93 

1442.  To  each  depot  there  will  be  assigned  a  suitable  number  of  of- 
ficers to  command  and  instruct  the  recruits  ;  and  when  necessary, *uch 
number  of  enlisted  men  as  may  be  designated  at  the  Adjutant  and  In- 
spector General's  office,  will  be  selected  for  the  permanent. party,  to  do 
garrison  duty  and  for  drill  masters. 

1443.  The  number  ofc  recruits  at  depots  to  be  assigned  to  each  arm 
and  regiment  is  directed  from  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's 
office.

spective arms,  and  will  be  regularly  mustered  and  inspected.  They  are 
to  be  well  drilled. in  the  infantry  tactics,  through  the  school  of  the  sol- 
dier to  that  of  the  battalion,  and  in  the  exercise  of  field  and  garrison 
pieces.     Duty  is  to  be  done  according  to  the  strict  rules  of  service. 

•  1445.  The  general  superintendent  will  cause  .such  of  the  recruits  as 
are  found  to  possess  a  natural  talent  for  music,  to  be  instructed  (besides- 
the  drill  of  the  soldier)  on  the  fife,  bugle  and  drum,  and  other  military 
instruments  ;  and  boys  of  twelve  years  of  age  and  upward  may,  under 
his  direction,  be  enlisted  for  this  purpose.  But  as  recruits  under 
eighteen  years  of  age  and  under  size  must  be  discharged,  if  they  are 
not-capable  of  learning  music,  care  should  be  taken  to  enlist  those  only 
who  have  a.  natural  talent  for  music, -and,  if  practicable,  they  should  be 
taken  on  trial  some  time  before  being  enlisted. 

144G.  Regiments  will  be  furnished  with  field  music  on  the  requisi- 
tions of  their  commanders,  made,  from  time  to  time,  direct  on  the  gene- 
ral superintendent;  and  when  requested  by  regimental  commanders,

ments to  good  conduct;  the  commanding  officer  of  the  depot  may  pro- 
mote such  of  them  to  be  lance  corporals  and  lance  sergeants  as  exhibit 
the  requisite  qualifications,  not  exceeding  the  proper  proportion  to  the 
number  of  recruits  at  the  deport.  These  appointments  will  be  an- 
nounced in  orders  in  the  usual  way,  and  will  be  continued  in  force  until 
they  join  their  regiments,  unless  sooner  revoked.  No  allowance  of  pay 
or  emoluments  is  to  be  assigned  to  these  appointments ;  they  are  only 
to  be  considered  as  recommendations  to  the.  captains  of  companies  and 
colonels  of  regiments  for  the  places  in  which  the  recruits  may  have 
acted  ;  but  such  non-commissioned  officers  are  to  be  treated  with  all  the 
respect  and  to  have  all  the  authority  which  may  belong  to  the  stations 
of  sergeant  and  corporal. 

1448.  Permanent  parties  at.  depots,  and  recruiting  parties,  will  be 
mustered,  inspected,  and  paid  in  the  same  manner  as  other  soldiers. 
Recruits  will  be  mustered  for  pay  only  at  depots,  and  when  paid  there 
one  half  of  their  monthly  pay  will  be  retained  until  they  join  their 
regiments. 

1449.  When  recruits  are  received  at  a  garrison  post,  the  command- 
ing officer  will  place  them  under  the  charge  of  a  commissioned  officer. 
•  1450.  Recruits  are  not  to  be  put  to  any  labor  or  work  which  would 
interfere  with  their  instruction,  nor  are  they  to  be  employed  otherwise 
than  as  soldiers,  in  the  regular  duties  of  garrison  and  camp. 

1451.  Every  enlisted  man  discharged  as  a  minor,  or  for  other  cause 


394  RECRUITING   SERVICE, 

involving  fraud  on  his  part  in  the  enlistment,  or  discharged  by  the  civil 
authority,  shall  forfeit  all  pay  and  allowances  due  at  the  time  of  the 
discharge. 

1452.  The  Rules  and  Articles  of  War  are  to  be  read  to  the  recruits 
every  month,  after  the  inspection  ;  jind  so  much  thereof  as  relates  to

service,  or  to  have  been  enlisted  contrary  to  law  or  regulations,  he  shall 
assemble  a  Board  of  Inspectors,  to  examine  into  the  case.  A  board 
may  also  be  assembled  in  a  special  «ase,  when  a  concealed  defect  may- 
become  manifest  in  a  recruit,  at  any  time  during  his  detention  at  the 
depot.     t  ,

necessary,  a  Board  of  Inspectors  will  be  convened. 

1455.  Recruits  received  at  a  military  post,  or  stafion,  shall  be  carefully 
inspected  by  the  commanding  officer  and  surgeon,  on  the  third  day  after 
their  arrival:  and  if,  on  such  inspection,  any  recruit,  in  their  opinion, 
be  unsound  or  otherwise  defective  in  such  degree  as  to  disqualify  him 
for  the  duties  of  a  soldier,  then  a  Board  of  Inspectors  will  be  assem- 
bled to  examine  into  and  report  on  the  case.  (See  paragraphs  1438, 
1439,  1440  ) 

1456.  Boards  for  the  inspection  of  recruits  will  be  composed  of  the

army  present.

1457.  In  all  cases  of  rejection,  the  reasons  therefor  wi]l  be  stated  at 
large  in  a  special  report,  to  be  made  by  the  board ;  which,  together  with 
the  surgeon's  certificate  of  •disability  for  service,  will  be  forwarded  by 
the  superintendent  or  pommandant  of  the  post  direct  to  the  Adjutant,

certificate,  which  will  be  sent  back  to  be  filled  up  and.  signed  by  the 
commanding  officer,  who  will  return  the  same  to  the  Adjutant  and  In- 
spector General's  office. 

145S.  The  board,  will  state  in  the  report  whether  the  disability,  or 
other  cause  of  rejection,  existed  before  his  enlistment,  and  whether,

nal roll  is  to  continue  with  the  last  dotaciimonr  to  its  destination,  each 
CQmmatider  completing  it  so  far  as  concerns  the  recruits  left  at  his  post.

Judge' Ad vocati  '  Presiding  at  Gen'l  Court  Martial. 

The  Court  hein^  called  to  order,  no  member  can  leave  his  place  with- 
out permission  of  the  President,  and  then  either  proceedings  must  be  sus- 
p%nded,  in  case  he  is  only  absent  momentarily,  until  his  return,  or  he 
cannot  resume  his  seat.  In  such  case  the  proceedings  would  be  null  and 
void.  Whenever  a  member  is  absent  from  the  trial  of 'a  case,  the  fact, 
should  be  reported  in  the  proceedings,  with  the  reason  for  such  absence. 

Charges  maybe  amended  before  plea  of  the  accused  :  and  after  plea, 
in  case  he  pleads  in  abatement  for  a  misnomer,  or  wrong  addition,  in 
which  case  the  charge  must  be  amended  according  to  what  the  prisoner 
declares  to  be  his  true,  name,  or  addition — and  the  trial  will  proceed  as 
if  no  such    dilatory  plea  had  been  entered. 

A  question  by  the  Court  cannot  be  objected  to. 

After  the  evidence  of  a  witness  is  completed,  it  should  be  read  over  to 
him  ;  but  not  until  it  is  entirely  completed — otherwise  it  might  defeat  the 
object  of  the  gross-examination.

draw,  if  he  is  to  testify  in  the  case;  provided  the  number  present  is  not 
deduced  below  the  minimum  (five)  prescribed  by  law. 

When  -papers  are  produced,  in  evidence,  they  should  be  attached  to 
the  record,  and  referred  to  by  appropriate  words,  E.  G.,  hereto  attached 
und  marked  A. 

In  other  respects  the  ordinary  rules  in  civil  proceedings,  apply  as  to  evi- 
dence- No  erasue  or'obliteration  of  what  has  been  previously  stated  can 
be  made,  though  such  statement  may  be  subsequently  modified  or  ex- 
plained by  the  witness.  This,  of  course,  does  not  apply  to  the  mere 
erasure  of  a  clerical  error.  Nor  will  it  suffice  tg  say  that  nothing  pertinent 
was  elicited.     The  whole  testimony  should  be  recorded. 

The  Court  can  decide  questions  only  on  deliberation:  and  whenever 
it  deliberates,  it  is  with  elosed  doors,  and  the  record  must  show  that  it  was 
cleared. 

A  majority  of  votes  determines  all  questions,  (not  the  finding  in  all 
cases.)  An  equality  oi  votes  decides  against  the  proposition  and  also 
acquits. 

In  all  cases  where  the  sentence  is  death,  the  record  must  state  that 
two-thirds  of  the  Court  concurred  therein. 

The  accused  m^y  be  found  guilty  of  an  offence  of  a  less,  but  never  of 
a  higher  degree  than  tha,1  charged,  providecLonly  it  is  of  a  kindred  nature.

To  give  uniformity  to  inspections  io  those  serving  in  the  Inspector 
General's  Department,  the  following  instructions-are  published,  and  will 
ibserved.  Inspection  of  troops  will  be  made  in  accordance  with  Form 
prescribed  in  Article  XXX,  Confederate  Army  Regulations;  inspecting 
■condition  of  arms  and  accoutrements,  acquaintance  with  their  use  and  of 
the  "Mannar'  by  the  troops,  completeness  of  the  arm  ir>  all  its  parts,  and 
where  deficiencies  are  found,  either  of  parts  or  the  entire  piece,  that  they 
have  been  charged  upon  the  muster-rolls  against  the  soldier  thus  deficient, 
according  to  paragraph  921  Ajjmy  Regulations;  character  of  clothing,  ■ 
neatness  of  person, -and  soldierly  appearance*  of  the  command,  its  discip- 
line, evidenced  by  degree,  of  instruction  of  the  men,  acquaintance  of  of- 
ficers with  tactics,  regulations,  and  all  orders,  and  observance  of  require- 
ments of  each,  or  where  ignorant,  whether  attributable  to  indifference,  or 
incompetency  to  learn,  or   inability  to    get   them,  through   defective  trans-

mission.  The  police  of  camps,  the  digging'of  sinks, and  the  use  of  them, 
is' another  evidence  of  discipline,  and  is  necessary  for  the  proper  preser- 
vation of  health,  and  will  be  strictly  enjoined;  as  also  the  burial  of  offal 
of  all  sorts,  either  accumulating  about  camp  fires  or  the  neighboring 
slaughter  pens,  or  from  animals  killed  or  dying  around  camp.  Regimental 
and  company  papers  should  be  carefully  examined,  to  see  that  returns  of 
property  are  made  in  accordance  with  requirements  of  regulations  of  the 
different  departments.  Of  Ordnance  stores,  in  accordance  with  '•Instruc- 
tions to  ordnance  Officers  in  the  Field,''  No.  2 — of  Quartermaster's  De- 
partment, with  paragraphs  from  1049  to  1055,  and>of  Commissary  Depart- 
ment, with  paragraph  1135  of  Army  Regulations — whereby  accident  pre- 
venting his  turning  over  his  property,  responsibility  in  form,  an '  officer 
in  charge  of  property  is  removed,  his  successor  shall  receipt  for  such 
property,  a  copy"  of  the  inventory  token  thereof  in  accordance  with  para- 
graph 932,  Army  Regulations,  answering  as  his  invoice,  the^eceipt  to  be 
for  war  d*ed  to  the  Chief  of  Bureau  under  which  such  responsibility  exists. 
Every  company  officer  should  take  receipt  rolls  according  to  Form  5'2, 
Quartermaster's  Department,  Army  Regulations^  from  his  men,  for  public 
property  turned  over  to  them,  and  when  turning  over  ordnance  stores,  the 
regimental  commanders  should  do  the  same  with  the  officers,  thus  fixing, 
beyond  question,  the  responsibility  in  each  ease.  In  the  inspection  of 
returns  and  accounts  in  regiments,  having  before  inspection  obtained  the 
number  present  and  absent,  and  verified  corresponden  of  reports 
with  facts;  the  inspector  keeps  an  account  of  arms,  &c..  found  in  the 
hands  of  the  men  by  actual  inspection,  the  returns'  show  i  ir  which 

the  commanding  officer  is  responsible,  and  discrepancies  must  b<>  ex- 
plained when  existing.  The  same  principle  obtains  in  examination  of 
property  oi  monied  accounts,  ascertaining  amounts  on  hand,  and  their  cor- 
respondence with  what  returns  call  for,  less  what  lias  been  disposed  of, 
properly  supported  by  vouchers.  Messes  should  be  looked  into;  company' 
officers,  under  paragraph  108,  are  especially  required  to  look  to  tins,  as 
nothing  conduces  more  jo   health  than   ths  preparation  of  food, 

which  regulation  should  be  strictly  curried  out.  Co«'  plaints,  respecting 
quantity,  are  frequently  made*,  to  correct  which,  commissaries  should  issue 
by  weight  wltere  practicable,  or  where  the  meat  ration  is  received  op 
the  hoof,  the  requirements  of  paragraph  1 147,  by  .which  the  corps  com- 
missaries receive  beef,  should  be  carried  down  to  the  command  where  the 
beef  is  killed  and  distributed  by  weight,  otherwise  there  can  be  no  fair  or 
equal  distribution.  In  th'e  examination  of  transportation  and  of  the  bat- 
teries, see  that  General  Orders  1  15,  and  paragraph  VI,  of  General  Order 
No.  125,  are  enforced,  those  in  charge  giving  ]>erso7}ul  attention  to  their 
trusts,  causing  animals  to  be  regularly  groomed,  fed  ami  watered  ;  wagons 
and  harness  to  be  kept  in  good  repair  and  greased,  the  latter  hung  up 
above  the  ground,  and  all  located  in  dry,  sheltered  positions.  Where  pro- 
perty is  found  lying  in  exposed  positions,  those  responsible  for  it  will  be 
reported,  or  if  owners  cannot  be  found,  it  will  be  turned  over  to  some  of- 
ficer of  the  department  to  which  it  pertains,  and  be  taken  up,  on  his  re- 
turns, to  be  accounted  for  to  the  government.  When  troops  leave  camp, 
the  brigad  3  inspector  should  go  over  the  yronnd  and  caus*  the  rear  guard 
to  collect  all  property  left  by  the  commarfll.  and  put  it  into  wagons  of  the 
brigade;  anus  accoutrements,  axes.  &<•..  being  frequently  left  on  the  ground 
vacated,  and  thereby  lost.  Orders,  full  and  complete,  about  straggling  and 
marauding,  having  been  issued,  w.ll  be  carefully  read  and  en  orced.  and 
it  will   be  ascertained  if  these  orders   have  been   published   to  anil   ar«

graceful in  character,  at  to  be  classed  with  those  committed   by  our  ene- 
mies.    This,  happily,  is  tolerated  only  in  those  commands  where  laxity  of 
and  incompetency  to  command  are  found  to  prevail,  and  ii 
more  necessary  to  correct  an  evil  thus  cststing  t  upon  the 

whole  army,  by  bringing"  the  few  offenders  to  the  not    e  omamJ* 

ing  General.     It  is  the  opinion  of  the  Commanding  Genera!,  that   in- 
laritiea  can  and  must  be  stopped, and  it  was  partly  with  th  ;hat  the 

system  of  inspection  was  adopted,  and  where  requirements  of  paragraph 
JI  of  General  Order  No.  131,  especially  designed  to  correct  this  evil,  are 
overlooked,  those  so  neglectlul  will  be  relieved  from  duty. .and  replaced 
by  others  possessing  more  zeal  and  efficiency.  Where  damages  are  com- 
mitted, they  will  be  immediately  reported  to  brigade  commanders,  who 
will  cause  them   to  be   asse  I    paid   for  by  commanders   of  troops 

committing  them,  reporting  facts  in  n.e  usual  weekly  reports,  and  ending 
in  receipts  lor  payment,  to  be  filed  in   claim  office  in  Richmond  in  ba

statement  of  amount  actually  paid  Cor,  with  the  view  to  after  adjustment 
with  the  government  foe  the  balance.     In  battle,  inspectors  will   M>e  that 

.  no  straggling  is  permitted,  taking  the  names  of  officers  and  men  abandon- 
ing the  ranks  improper!  g  but  the  wounded  and  attendants  provided 
for  in  paragraph  I.  General  Order  No.  91.  or  sick,  with  surgeon's  certificate 
mtersigned  by  regimental  commanders,  are  permitted  to  fall  bark.  In 
the  intervals  of  the  battle,  the  inspectors  will  apply  for  assistance,  and 
cause  property  within  our  lines  and  beyond  range  of  the  enemy's  fire,  to 
be  collected  together  and  placed  convenient  for  wagons  to  rarry  oil",  re- 
ceive all  prisoners  captured,  taking  a  correct  list  of  their  names,  brigades, 
regiments  and  companies,  to   be  turned   over  to   the  provost  marshal,  in 

.order  that  the  command  making  such  captures  may  be  known,  as  also  to 
facilitate  the  making  out  of  the  gen#al  list  to  be  transmitted  to  Richmond. 
They  will  see,  under  the  same  order,  that  no  misappropriation  of  captured 
property  occur,  and  that  agents  of  respective  departments  collect,  and  take 
up  on  their  returns  such  as  pertains  to  their  departments.  The  foregoing 
instructions  are  mote  especially  designed  for  those  just  entering  upon  the 
duties  of  inspection,  and  doubtful  in  regard  to  their  extent  and  character* 
As  those  called  upon  to  correct  irregularities,  and  to  inforn1)  tho«e  ignorant 
of  their  duties,  should  be  well  informed  themselves,  it  is  enjoined  upon 
all  acting  in  the  department,  to  provide  themselves  with  tactics.  Army

commands  with  which  they  are  serving.  These  duties,  properly  per-

anxious  desire  for  the  advancement  of  our  cause  are  apparent,  all  right-

Charcoal,  how  manufactured. 

Common  charcoal,  intended  for  fuel,  is  prepared  by  cutting  pieces  of»  , 
wood^  from  one  inch  to  three  inches  in  diameter,  into  lengths  of  ope  foot 
to  three  feet,  forming  them  into  a  conical  pile,  and  covering  them  with 
turf  or  clay,  leaving  two  or  three  small  holes  close  to  the  ground  for 
lighting  the  wood.- and  boring  through,  the  turf  in  the  upper  part  of  the 
cone,  a  few  small  holes,  for  the  escape  of  the  smoke. 

•  The  pile  being  lighted  at  the  several  boles  along  the  bottom,  continues 
burning  with  a  slow,  smouldering  flame  for  a  week  or  two,  and  is  allowed 
to  cool  before  the  tuif  is  removed.  In  the  case  of  very  high  winds,  the 
holes  to  the  windward  arc  stopped  to  prevent  combustion  from  going  on 
with  too  great  rapidity.  Any  kind,  of  wood  is  suitable  to  make  common 
chare
